- 1 tablespoon cocoa
- 1 teaspoon butter softened

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160℃ (fan-forced) and line the base and sides of a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.
- Roughly chop the butter into pieces and place into your Thermomix bowl. Cook for 3 minutes, 60 degrees, speed 2 or until melted.

- Add the softened butter and pour the boiling water directly over the butter.
Using a small whisk, combine all the ingredients until the chocolate icing is smooth. If you find your icing is still a little firm, add an extra teaspoon of boiling water. - Use a large spoon to scoop the icing and place onto your cake. Spread the icing out using a spatula or butter knife until the cake is covered. Decorate with coloured sprinkles.
