Used this recipe to frost Sue B's Chocolate Cake and it was fabulous! Made up a double batch for the cake as we love frosting! Thanks Sue L for posting this here!

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.
