I felt this was a three, but everyone else seemed to like it, so it gets a four. I don't know, it's flavour was okay, but it didn't blow my mind. The texture was silky, which was great, but it ran off the cake (although it was a very hot day, so that might be part of the reason). Overall, I might try this again back home in a more humid climate, but we'll see.

i'm torn. this is a GREAT tasting frosting recipe. it is easy with great taste results. but i made this to frost some cupcakes and they were goopy and didn't hold their pretty design. putting them in the fridge helped but they were still pretty drippy. so 4 stars for ease and taste, just wish the consistancy was better.

While I really liked this frosting (especially cold!!), my hubby was not crazy about it. I put this on Deep Dark Chocolate Cake #12488, which was wonderful together. Thanks for sharing!! :O)

We loved this frosting! Followed the recipe as posted & it was so simple to make. Made sure to boil the mixture for a good 2 minutes; that really thickens it & also eliminates the flour taste. It took a good 1/2 hr to cool. With an electric hand mixer, slowly incorporated the milk mixture into the whipped butter. Like others, I baked Lennie's Deep Dark Chocolate Cake (oh Lennie, this cake deserves to be in the hall of fame) & the frosting was so well suited to this cake. Had to wait an entire day to rate these recipes because I wanted to see if the frosting & cake was as good straight out of the fridge. The cake & the frosting were even better cold! If you find frosting with powder sugar a bit too sweet, I highly recommend using this vanilla butter frosting.
