This recipe is from the Cake Mix Doctor's Cupcake book. It is absolutely fabulous. It is smooth, rich and creamy. I was trying to find a delicious chocolate frosting and I was referred to this one. After I tried it, all I could say was "WOW!" This is the best chocolate frosting I have ever had!!! I can't say enough about it - it is sooo good!

Chocolate Syrup Frosting

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter, softened 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup chocolate syrup 3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted (measure out 3 cups first and then sift) 1 tablespoon milk (whole or 2% preferred) 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Place the butter, cocoa powder, and chocolate syrup in a large mixing bowl. Blend on low speed until just combined. Add the sifted sugar, milk and vanilla and blend on low until the sugar is combined. Increase the mixer to medium-high speed and blend 1 minute longer, until smooth and spreadable. Add a little more milk or sugar if needed.
  2. (I made this with 1% milk because that was all I had in the house, and it was still amazing!!! I didn't notice any difference. I also didn't have to add any additional milk or sugar - it was perfect just the way the recipe was written)

this frosting was delicious!! i made it woth the "Darn Good Chocolate" cake it was chocolate heaven!...the only thing i would change next time i make it is adding whipped cream to it to give it more creamy fluff...i found it a bit to stiff for my liking so i added a few squirts of chocolate syrup to make it thinner and it worked great, but it made my cake all together too rich..i guess it WAS too much of a good thing! (chocolate) ;p so i'm going to add cool whip next time to it...but it was a fabulous recipe!!

Wow, this icing is delicious. If you want a sinfully rich chocolate icing, you found it. This recipe makes about 2 1/2 cups of icing.

I use this recipe ALL the time....it's really good also if you're looking for something a bit richer to use the Special Dark Cocoa by Hershey's!

Can this icing be used under fondant?
