I just used 2 batches of this recipe to frost my Yule Log. It looks nice and tastes very good. It's easy to adjust the amount of milk for the consistency you need. I changed just a few things: I used 1/2T vanilla, 1/3C cocoa, and 2 1/2 C conf. sugar. I didn't measure the milk, but needed more than in the recipe. This will be my chocolate frosting recipe from now on!

Thank you! I was looking to make truffles for my husband, who's allergic to commercially-made chocolate (soy lecithin), so I needed a frosting recipe that only used cocoa. Yours worked very well, (though I'm pretty sure I ended up adding more milk than just 2T). This one's a keeper.

Very good, very thick and fudgy frosting. I needed two batches to frost a two-layer 9-inch cake.

This very fudgy frosting tastes great, but do NOT attempt to frost a layer cake with it. It is much too stiff to work with. Heated, it can be poured and spread. It would be ideal for brownies or a bundt cake.

I did mine a little differently - instead of melting the butter, I let it get really soft on the counter. Then added all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat it until it was very fluffy. Very light and very good!

I added some cold brewed coffee in w/ the milk & it gave it a nice mocha flavor. I did as MelanieKay & nuked the butter instead of cooking it on the stovetop. I also decreased the sugar some....be sure & beat this well or it will taste just like powdered sugar w/ some cocoa. I used this on cupcakes & also on cake-in-a-cone treats my grandsons & I made.

This was good, very fudgy tasting icing. But very, very thick and not very easily spreadable at all. I recommend adding a little more milk than asked for to make it easier to spread. But it's good if you want it very fudgy-like and thick.

this is a great frosting! it was a little scary when i added the cocoa mixture, it ended up like little peas, until I added the milk, it frosted a 13x9 cake wonderfully! I cut the powder suger down to 3 cups, thanks for the great recipe!

Too sweet for me. I ended up adding more unsweetened cocoa and some walnuts and it tasted better to me. Good on a chocolate bundt cake.

Family and friends loved the taste, very fudgy. I thought it had sugary taste but I am not a chocolate icing type. I also found it hard to make. I used 2-3 times the amount of milk as listed and it was still hard to spread. definately not light and fluffy. Hint: Use your electric mixer!

I made 1.5 batches and it covered and filed an 8" two layer cake with a bit to spare. I added a teaspoon of Espresso powder to the chocolate mix to give it that mocha taste. Tasted great.
