Hi everyone,
I'm looking for easy chocolate frosting recipe for my chocolate cake, I tried so many times but it never meet my expectations.
Thanks
Hi Betty80,
Happy New Year ! :)
Did you have found a recipe for your chocolate frosting? Did you tried the recipe of Delices & Gourmandises or a home-made recipe?
Thanks for your return.
My favorite is the one actually on the Hershey's cocoa can... it is the best. I made it once with Nestle cocoa--- awful! Be sure you consider the brand/ flavor of the cocoa you use!
AJerryliny -- no that can't be right -- some kind of typo
What recipe are you using that includes baking soda? Just curious...
the cake recipe in the link in post #3 ^^^ has over 3 teaspoons of baking soda
Hello
Making a chocolate frosting is easy. Here is a simple direction :
Beat the butter. In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer.
Mix the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa and the granulated sugar.
Combine the ingredients. Add the cocoa and sugar mixture along with the milk.
Beat until the mixture becomes a spreadable consistency.
Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla.
Add the powdered sugar. Beat the powdered sugar.
Spread it over the cake.
This is the usual way I make a chocolate frosting. However, some of the suggestions above are fine. That of Delices and Gourmandises is great. I had a look on this website and found other interesting recipes. The recipe about how to bake and serve coffe mini cakes (https://delicesandgourmandises.wordpress.com/2014/12/30/delices-and-gourmandises-how-to-bake-and-serve-coffee-mini-cakes/) is perfect !
I get a lot of "Mmmmmm"s and "Oh this is so good!" with my recipe, easy to make and use!

The recipe lists baking soda twice. Is this correct??
If it lists the same exact thing the nit must be a mistake. It happens so just discard it.
I will have to have a look at that recipe proposed by Delices and Gourmandises. I thought it was just a mail order company.

Is that your personal recipe that you are presenting ?
just an aside here -- that coffee cake recipe on the delices and gourmandises site does not go with the cute little picture -- i'm sure the recipe is tasty and the pictured cakelette is adorable but you won't get that outcome with those directions -- unless I missed something somewhere --
i don't see any baking soda listed? just the self raising flour would have it in thete
now that I went back and re-read the thread -- yeah I see the baking powder listed twice in the cake recipe in post 3 -- 3.25 teaspoons bkg soda plus bkg powder -- no es bueno
I'm not a fan of that website's recipes
Anniah5, sorry, I just saw your question today! Yes, that is my personal chocolate buttercream recipe :)
This recipe is fantastic!
Bittersweet Chocolate Frosting
11 ¼ ounce bag Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
½ cup, or 1 stick unsalted butter
8 ounces softened cream cheese
6 T. cocoa
3-4 cups powdered sugar
1 cup sour cream
vanilla
Beat butter and cream cheese until whipped. Add cocoa and mix. Mix in melted, cooled chocolate and beat until smooth. Add 3 cups powdered sugar and mix until combined, scraping bowl as necessary. Beat in sour cream and vanilla. If too thin or not sweet enough to taste, add in up to 1 additional cup powdered sugar. Frosting thickens as it sits. Add milk or cream to return to spreading consistency.
