Made a chocolate cake but don't know what to do for a topping? Please, please help

Hello, I have a chocolate cake in the oven but don't have any icing sugar in to make a topping, I would love to gobble it up tonight if possible 
but what else can I use instead? The thought of adding strawberry jam ontop is just awful.
I have some basics in like cocoa, margarine and caster sugar? I don't know if any of these could be used in some way to make a topping or not?
I would be grateful for your tips. Thanks

Hi Bettyboop,
These earlier threads may help:
icing a cake without icing sugar
Substitute for Icing Sugar
I'll add your thread to the first link later to keep the ideas together.

Have you got a food processor. My aunt used to whack caster sugar in and it would be icing sugar in minutes. Then, mix with the marge and cocoa.0
