3 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar; sifted
2 1/2 tablespoon water; hot
3 egg yolks
4 tablespoon butter
Melt chocolate in double boiler. Remove from boiling water, add sugar and water, and blend. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each. Add butter, a tablespoon at a time, beating thoroughly after each amount. Makes enough frosting to cover the top of one 9" layer and sides of three 9" layers, or to cover the tops and sides of two 9" layers.
