Doubled the recipe to generously cover a 3-layer dark chocolate cake. This made my 20 year old birthday boy very happy so THANK YOU!!!! Nothing better than cooking for the people you love.

Excellent. I made it last night with your chocolate pudge cake. I used your 3/4 cup of cocoa powder option. Seriously, there is no need to ever buy frosting again.

Hi! I’m looking for a no-refrigeration chocolate frosting for a bake sale i’m joining. Can I mnake this with shortening instead of butter? Will it still turn out okay? Thanks!

I used this frosting on Kitten’s chocolate zucchini cake and it was awesome! Used the half and half, forgot to sift the confectioners sugar, and used the 1/2 cup of cocoa. Didnt add the Cool Whip but my frosting was that texture and tasted great. Will not be using canned chocolate frosting from the store anymore!

After taking quite a bit of a hiatus from cooking who should I turn to but our very own reliable kittencal again. I used this to ice your deep dark chocolate cake for hubby’s birthday. Since hubby suffers from an acute case of a sweet tooth iced half of the cake in light and half in the medium version. The cake turned out fabulous and echoing everyone else on zaar, this outdoes any of the professional stuff. Needless to say this was passed on to at least a dozen or so guests. So, so yummy.
