So easy and quick! The shiny look makes anything look that much more delicious.

Fabulous! Next time I am doubling the recipe, didn't quite have enough to cover 2 layer cake (split into 4 layers with mousse filling) but man was it good and easy to make! Love it, thanks for the recipe

Just give me a spoon - forget the cake! This icing is AWESOME! I made it for the Black Magic cake (I used a bundt pan) and this icing was perfect! VERY EASY to make!!!

While it set up nice and had a pretty gloss the amounts were off and I had to make more to cover my entire cake. Very sweet.

I can't bake worth snot... but I was able to make a cake with my kids and I found them with a soup spoon in each hand going crazy with this icing. "Best icing ever Dad!" So, Thank You!!! p.s. I added a tbsp of instant coffee to the recipe because my wife loves mocha.

Excellent! I used this on "Black Magic Cake" found on this site. I have now made this recipe twice in a row. Last night, I followed the directions exactly, and it made a very rich, dense fudge frosting. Tonight, I decided to add 1 teaspoon of Pure Orange Extract to give it a chocolate orange flavor. Instead of beating once I removed it from the heat, I poured it warm over the chocolate cake like a sauce...WOW! Either way this recipe is incredibly easy and tastes amazing! I think it could be fun to play around with different flavoring extracts and getting creative. Maybe tomorrow I will try Almond!

Brilliant! We used this for a cupcake icing and it was delicious! Sort of like a hot fudge kind of texture and taste! We also used this as a ice cream topping and it tasted like a homeade hot fudge! It is so fast and easy! It took me about 7 minutes to complete! I will definitely be making this again!

yummy!I put this on cupcakes. I had to warm it up again when icing the last ones because it became too difficult to spread when cold.

I was out of shortening and needed a quick chocolate icing for a birthday cake. This icing was easy and very tasty. I received lots of compliments on it and will use it again. I used powered sugar instead of granulated to avoid the gritty texture. Thanks!

I didn't beat it after I blended it. I let it stand at room temperature until it got thicker and then I spread it on the cake. My only issue with it was it felt gritty, like the sugar hadn't dissolved. It's possible I didn't heat it enough.

This was absolutely delicious. I wouldn't exactly call this an icing as I could only imagine how dreadfully difficult it would be to spread this around on a cake. I simply cooked it, removed from the heat, and stirred vigorously with a spoon for about a minute. Poured over a warm from the oven cake, the recipe made a BEAUTIFUL, smooth, glossy glaze. will definitely be using again.

YUMMMMMYYYYY!! Super rich, super chocolaty & sooooo easy to make! Glad I read some other reviews noting how sweet this was, so I decided to cut my sugar back to 1/2 cup and my (good quality) dark cocoa back to 2/3 cup. After removing from the stove, I let cool slightly before pouring over my Peanut Butter Brownies I from this site. This added a very rich topping to the brownies, really glad I cut back on the sugar & would probably reduce a bit more next time. Will use this again for sure!

Fudge-like was a good description. It's not your fluffy smooth icing if that's what you are looking for. Tasted great on vanilla cupcakes. Didn't need to use mixer for last 3 minutes, just did by hand with a whisk. Using sugar instead of 10x like a lot of other icings gives you a grainier icing, so skip this one if that bothers you.

I used this recipe as a ganache over a chocolate cake recipe from this site that I had baked in a bundt pan. It turned out perfect. I did not cook the icing as the recipe says. I actually put all the ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwaved it for 2 minutes and stirred it for another 2. I would point out that a sifter would need to be used at least for the cocoa as the icing could be lumpy without it. It turned out great! I didn't have to spread it but it would be easily been spreadable....I just drizzled the glaze over the bundt cake and it was beautiful and delicious. Great recipe to keep!

Tasted good and very easy to make. I had difficulty spreading it on to my cake as it became hard. Maybe I cooked it too long? I'll do better next time. Overall very good and yummy. Thanks for this great recipe.

I had little ingredients so had to improvise. This was a perfect recipe. I had only bakers chocolate squares, so I used those instead of cocoa powder. Came out delicous and glossy.
