Updated Ugly Cake recipe. I just made this and it's perfect.
(updated recipe 4/18/2023)

Over medium heat begin melting butter in a saucepan with a heavy bottom. Add sugar, cocoa and evaporated milk. Stir with a whisk until smooth, switch to a spatula and continuously scrape the bottom to keep from burning. Bring to a rolling boil (takes about five minutes) and continue boiling for one minute only. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 3 or 4 minutes.


Poke holes in cake and pour icing mixture while still hot over cake and into holes. Allow to sit uncovered for 1 hour or until icing becomes crunchy.
