This icing is simply amazing and really really tastes like fudge but a warning as it does take quite a while to set up properly so make sure you have a really good hand mixer as it averages me 20-30 minutes for the icing to be ready to spread on the cake. My mother and grandmother always put this on a white cake so it does ice a 2 layer 8 inch or 9 inch round cake or a 9x13 cake.
Ingredients:
2 Cups Sugar
¼ Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Cocoa
¼ Cup White Corn Syrup
½ Cup Milk
½ Cup Shortening
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

2) Add Corn Syrup, Milk, and Shortening. Stir over low heat until shortening is melted
3) Stirring constantly bring rapidly to full rolling boil
4) Boil exactly 1 min
5) Remove from heat
6) Beat until lukewarm
7) Add Vanilla
8) Continue beating until loses gloss and is of spreading consistency (takes at least 20 minutes) - see picture above for how it looks when it has lost its gloss.
