    very VERY good chocolate frosting recipe. i had to use a bit more cream to get it to a spreadable consistency. it was extremely sweet. next time i will add salt or perhaps a little more cocoa and a little bit less sugar. with those adjustments this will be my go to chocolate frosting recipe. and to let you know i used this frosting on a yellow cake with peanut butter filling = match made in heaven!

    I used this to top a boxed devil's food cake. WOW! It's the only chocolate frosting in my recipe box. I didn't have heavy cream, so I used 1% milk I had on hand. It was delicious!! I think next time I make it, I'll add a pinch of salt to add a nice contrast.

    I made this using dark cocoa powder and it was extremely good! I did make the same modifications that I made when I made FN's Quick Butter Cream Frosting (same recipe except for the cocoa: added 1/2t vinegar to help cut the sweetness and added a pinch of salt since I used unsalted butter. Perfect!

    For those whom said the frosting was too thick, try beating it on a higher speed for longer. I had more than enough to generously frost 24 cupcakes.

    This recipe was absolutely fantastic. How can you go wrong with butter, cream, and sugar? I used it with a store bought vanilla cake mix (wanted to make the cake homemade too, but ran out of time. Instead of vanilla extract I substituted pure orange extract. I added the extract to the cake as well. It was DELICIOUS and a total crowd pleaser. The frosting was rich enough without being overpowering. It covered a standard size bundt cake wonderfully well. I would like to try it with different extract flavors next time.

    This is a great, simple frosting. I did find it necessary to add more cream as it was too thick otherwise. I also added 1/2 tsp espresso powder to give it that really powerful chocolate flavor and depth. It does well in a piping bag. The recipe also is not really enough for a cake or 24 cupcakes, so next time I will double it.

    Oh my Gosh - this is SO good! It turned out perfect for the cake I made. It has that intensely, rich flavor similar to Baskin Robbins Double Fudge Ice Cream. Highly recommended!!
