Yummy, super rich chocolate frosting. Made with chocolate cake but would probably prefer with a yellow or other cake to really appreciate the deep chocolate flavor. Thanks for sharing!

    Without a doubt, the best chocolate frosting I've made! Even my husband, who is not a chocolate fan, thought it was excellent. Thanks for posting!

    Ironic that the day I'm going to rate this it comes up as recipe of the day!...Thanx Inez for another super recipe. I have made this twice, both times for a yellow cake. Second time I didn't have unsweetened chocolate, so I did the subsitution thing with 3TBS cocoa powder and 1 TBS oil for each square......Still made this frosting WONDERFUL...Chocolate lovers dream!

    Fast and easy recipe, not too sweet or rich. I was surprised at the fluffy texture, easily iced top and sides of a 9 x 13 cake, could have done the middle too. Not a glossy, pretty icing, but good chocolate taste and really very easy.
