This recipe can be played with to get it right but as written this is a myriad of adjectives - gooey, grainy and greasy among them, and none of them what you want in a frosting. What a shame, because it tasted great, almost like fudge!

as in other reviews, consistency is the main factor here. well worth playing with to get right though-- best chocolate frosting ever and SO spreadable! i too used way more sugar than called for to get nice and creamy. careful with your water too--- a little goes a long way here. i like 2 9" rounds, modified the servings to 36 and it yields plenty for the center and top/sides of a double layer.

This is the first frosting recipe I have found that actually gets the consistency I look for. Like others, I added in vanilla. It tastes amazing. However, I gave it four stars for one reason. I made the frosting exactly like the recipe and it turned out perfect, but there wasn't enough. So I set out to make another batch. The second batch was made exactly the same as the first batch, except this time I had to add DOUBLE the powdered sugar to get the right consistency. No clue why one batch needed 1 1/2 C and one batch needed 3C. They taste the same and look the same. So, four stars for inconsistency.

I made devil's food cupcakes with this frosting on top... yummmmm! The only thing I changed was that I used margarine instead of real butter, and I added a tsp. of vanilla extract. It came out fine, tastes great, and because there is no butter, it will not spoil if left out at room temperature for a while...

My signature cake is usually devil's food with buttercream frosting so when my father-in-law requested chocolate frosting I needed a recipe. This is it!! I LOVE this chocolate frosting. It was quick and easy to make and it is delicious!! This will be my go-to chocolate frosting from now on. Also, I needed it to be lactose-free so I substituted Organic Smart Balance for butter and the results were fantastic. I also added 2 tsp vanilla just b/c I love the vanilla flavor. I did have to double the recipe (might need to triple it next time as it is so good!). Thanks for a delicious recipe!

This frosting is very sweet, but yummy. It is similar to the frosting used for Texas Sheet Cake, but wthout the milk.

the perfect super chocolately frosting you will always have the ingredients on hand to make! I topped my yellow cake mix. I should have doubled the recipe for my 13x9 pan to give a generous spread, but this will do.
