Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
dash of salt
1/2 cup softened butter
1/4 to 1/3 cup half and half (more for desired consistency)
1 tsp. vanilla extract

This cake recipe has a long and illustrious history. First it has been in the family for about three decades. This was one of those recipes we just did not give out like our famous family fudge. Back in the late 1980's, my mother put the recipe in a ward cookbook and took a sample of the cake to a church dinner. One of the owners of Magleby's Restaurant tasted my mom's cake and raved about it.
Not long after, a very similar cake showed up on the Magleby's Restaurant Menu and has been garnering awards ever since. We will never know for certain if the Magleby's Restaurant uses my mom's recipe, but it is very suspicious.
When I told my husband, Joe, that I was sharing this recipe on my blog, he begged me not to. But I thought what the heck, enjoy this amazing chocolate cake recipe with the rest of the us. Happy Thanksgiving friends!
