    As corn syrup is hell to get on this side of the atlantic, you could try this one from Nigella Lawson. It's from a Chocolate Fudge Cake recipe that was published on iVillage.co.uk

    175g dark chocolate, minimum 70% cocoa solids
    250g unsalted butter, softened
    275g icing sugar, sifted
    1 tbsp vanilla extract


    # To make the icing, melt the chocolate in the microwave – 2-3 minutes on medium should do it – or in a bowl sitting over a pan of simmering water, and let cool slightly.
    # In another bowl, beat the butter until it's soft and creamy (again, I use the KitchenAid here) and then add the sieved icing sugar and beat again until everything's light and fluffy. I know sieving is a pain, the one job in the kitchen I really hate, but you have to do it or the icing will be unsoothingly lumpy. Then gently add the vanilla and chocolate and mix together until everything is glossy and smooth.
    # Sandwich the middle of the cake with about a quarter of the icing, and then ice the top and sides, too, spreading and smoothing with a rubber spatula.
