I was having a party and made a triple fudge cake and having a really hard time deciding what to frost it with... found this recipe and thought it looked easy. It was soooo good. My husband said it was the best part of the cake and luckily I snagged a piece early on because it was gone in no time. Thanks so much!

Made Quick Yellow Cake Quick Yellow Cake by MizzNezz and used this icing. This is a great frosting recipe, not sweet at all and very creamy. Instead of adding all the confectioners' sugar and cocoa all at once, making it difficult to incorporate, I alternately added these ingredients with the milk. Worked out much better. Thanks for posting, Sue.
