Ohmygoshthisissogood. Perfect chocolate frosting. Don't tell Hershey's that I used Nestle cocoa powder. But seriously - this is great for covering cakes, spreadable - a great consistency. I recommend all around.
I tried this frosing tonight and as i sit here haveing a piece of french vanilla cake with this chocolate frosting i am saying good job self!! I whipped this a few minutes and it is light and creamy. It also made enough to frost a 2 layer cake. So if you look and look for a good chocolate frosting you found it here!
ReplyDeleteI also use this frosting recipe! It is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Especially if you substitute the milk with strong brewed coffee....Oh My!
ReplyDeletedo you need to refrigerate the cake once it is frosted since the frosting contains butter or do you leave your cake out in a cool place?
