very creamy easy-to-make frosting. I recommend it. Make sure to double it for a layer cake! Also, if you use salted butter like I do, you should leave out the pinch of salt.

This was incredibly good! I made it in less than 5 minutes, it tasted great, and it's a beautiful shade of creamy rich brown. Every chocolate lover will die with the melt in your mouth texture, and be screaming for more. Try this one recipe, it's great!

I used this recipe to frost my husband's birthday cake, and we both LOVED it! It was delicious and very easy to make, and best of all, didn't have that nasty, mouth-coating texture that a lot of buttercream recipes (usually the ones with shortening) have. I will definitely be making this again!
