A simple recipe for chocolate buttercream frosting, good for any cake! Four simple ingredients is all it takes.
Can substitute flavours as desired. For vanilla extract or almond essence, add in a little extra icing sugar to compensate for the cocoa powder. Also add in food colouring to plain recipe for some great colours.
Can easily double the recipe, or add in extra chocolate for a more intense frosting!
i think this is the best darn icing i have ever had - 11 Sep 2012
Really easy,good thick, spreadable consistency, was enough for a layer in a minicake and enough to ice before covering with fondant. I used coffee instead of milk to match my cake. - 27 Oct 2011
