I used this recipe for my moms wedding cake. It turnes out so perfect, Although I did substitute Alton's hot Cocoa for Nestles. I thought it was a very clever and extreemly easy recipe. Kudos to Alton :

When we have a family birthday party I make 2 or 3 cakes because there are 18 of us and my Devil's Food Cake with this frosting is gone first.
I don't put in any pepper and I use 3 packages of Nestle's Cocoa Mix (10 in a box.
So easy and so yummy.
Thanks, Alton.

Very tasty and good. Made for a basic white cake with blackberry preserve filling between layers. Worked great!
