Great frosting!
I halved the recipe for a 20 x 20cm cake and it was a good amount. After a half hr in the fridge mine was still runny so I popped it in the freezer and it was then firmer and I could beat it with a spoon. Next time I’ll pop it straight in the freezer.

I’ve made this twice & each time it’s been disappointing & too runny.
I've used icing sugar instead
I've used icing sugar instead of milling it and made sure to use the raw sugar for the last 100 grams because that's a different texture and the frosting turned out just the same as when I milled raw sugar as per the steps
could you use icing sugar if
could you use icing sugar if you have left over instead of raw ? will it still give the same fudgy texture

Really yummy icing, I'll be
Really yummy icing, I'll be using this one all the time now too
mine needed a bit longer to cool before it beat up nice and fudgy, still was a bit too runny after half an hour (I cut it fine, made the icing a bit later than intended) no problem though, it meant that my 5 year old got to put 100s and 1000s on the cake and they stuck on much better to a runnier icing!
This is the only chocolate
This is the only chocolate frosting recipe I will ever use again I think! It is SO good! The only downside is trying not to eat it all before it gets on the cake
It has a beautiful rich chocolatey flavour and gorgeous fudgey texture. I cant imagine there being a better recipe!
Thanks for your feedback -
Thanks for your feedback - yes this recipe quantity is for a large 20cm x 30cm cake as stated also a key part of this recipe is that it (very runny mixture) must be refridgerated and then once it is cold, beaten to a fudge consistancy - it would definitely have been too runny to use if this step was missed. Glad you liked it in the end

Very disappointed in my trial
Very disappointed in my trial of this frosting. Was way too runny and I needed to add heaps more icing sugar to help the consistency. Not too sure what I did wrong but my final result was good. Had to freeze at least half as I had far too much in the end. iced the Magic bean cake and it was a hit. Thanks for sharing.
Ciao, Chopsuey!
Thanks for the quick reply.
Thanks for the quick reply. I need it for 12 cupcakes.
It makes a large amount -
It makes a large amount - enough to generously cover a 20 x 30cm rectangular cake and the sugar plays a big part in the texture of the frostng. You could definitely try reducing it and let us know how you go

Perfect for the EDC chocolate
Perfect for the EDC chocolate cake. Lovely thick sweet icing. You must complete the full 30 mins in the fridge and beat it with a spoon. Yum!
Love this frosting!!!

I totally got distracted
I totally got distracted while doing this... gotta love that you can do it wrong and it still turns out sensationally. Really does need the fridge time to thicken up.
