The amounts stated are enough to frost the top of a 13 x 9-inch sheet cake, to frost and fill a layer cake double the amounts, this frosting freezes very well so make a double recipe and freeze for the next time, the confectioners sugar and cocoa must be sifted first.

  • 1/3 cup good-quality unsweetened baking cocoa, sifted
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons light cream (or use heavy whipping cream)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

  1. 1
    In a mixing bow beat cream cheese with butter until smooth.

    Made for Summer '09 Comfort Cafe. This was so smooth and easy to spread. Light and fluffy, too. A little different taste for me (not sure if it was the cream cheese or heavy cream), but whatever it was it did not deter from this really tasty frosting. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

    Yum, yum....very tasty icing. In fact I think I could just eat it out of a dish. Well worth the effort, I used Van Houte's cocoa and I think this definitely makes a difference (using good quality cocoa as listed in the recipe. I will keep this around to use again!
