This is a delicious buttercream recipe — NOTE — if you are making 2 9 inch cakes for layers you will need to double the recipe — ANOTHER NOTE — this frosting is NOT good for serving in warmer temperatures — find a recipe that uses shortening with a higher melting point!!!

Loved this recipe !! Made it with a three layer chocolate cake and my family thought it was awesome. I also added vanilla, but other than that followed directions. I give it 5 stars also !

Made this quick to prepare icing for a chocolate sheet cake. Too lazy to get out the mixer, I just beat it by hand and it is a lovely smooth and creamy frosting, quite chocolatey, but not overpoweringly so. I used half & half instead of heavy cream, and put in about 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
