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.

***UPDATE***After making this again, I think that part of my problem was the temperature of my butter and my kitchen. My kitchen was quite cool the first time I prepared this, and quite warm last night. I also allowed my butter to soften at room temp for a longer period of time before combining with the other ingredients. My attempt last night was creamy and wonderful. Thanks, Sue. ***I am not sure if I didn't beat the frosting enough after adding the milk, or if I needed slightly more milk, or slightly less sugar...however, my finished product was slightly grainy in texture. The flavor was excellent, though. The recipe covered a round layer cake with exactly the right amount of frosting.

Sooooooo good! The best "non-cooked" frosting or icing I've made. I beat mine for about 4-5 min so it would get nice and fluffy. I wasn't even in the mood for sweets because I've been gorging myself for a week on my kids' Halloween candy, and I just had to eat two cupcakes yesterday. If you beat it for a while like I did, it will make a nice filling also. It frosted 20 cupcakes for me, but I was a little generous.

Good and easy. I got just enough to do the top of a 9 by 13 cake. I don't think I would have had enough for a layer cake. Made this for my French boss' birthday cake--by MIZZNEZZ, and now those two recipes are flying all over the south of France!

this was very easy and delicious. I have made it twice, the first time according to above directions, and i thought it was extremely fudgey (i love chocolate, but this was very rich) So, the next time i made it i used a very skimpy 1/2c of cocoa and i was very pleased with the results.

I hadn't made homemade frosting in so long...I had nearly forgotten how. Thanks for posting this simple and delicious recipe. I used a scant 1/2 cup cocoa as I had seen others noted, and didn't need but about half of the milk listed... I may have used slightly less powdered sugar. Still super easy and really delicious. My son was in chocolate heaven with this atop chocolate cake! Thanks!!!

Thank you Sue, this was the best frosting I have had in quite some time and so very easy to make. I used Heavy Cream and it came out great. I was able to fill between 2 layers of cake and the kids ate the rest. I used it to fill the cake and then used Mean Chefs chocolate frosting for the tops and sides, what a wonderful combination.....
