This past weekend was my husband’s birthday. Being the chocolate fanatic that he is, I just had to bake him a chocolate cake with some homemade creamy chocolate frosting.
I made a simple devil’s food boxed cake, adding chocolate chips into the batter too. Since I made a box cake, I figured I should at least make homemade frosting.
I chose to make the chocolate frosting listed on the back of my container of Nestle Toll House cocoa powder. Wowzers! It is really sweet and yummy!
Creamy Chocolate Frosting
Ingredients:
- 3 cups sifted powdered sugar, divided
- 2/3 cup NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE Baking Cocoa
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
- 5 to 6 tablespoons milk, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Beat 1 cup powdered sugar, cocoa, butter, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract in small mixer bowl until creamy.
- Gradually beat in remaining sugar and milk until smooth.
Thanks for posting this recipe! When Nestle changed their container, the recipe disappeared, and I was so disappointed because I had never bothered to write it down. This is the best chocolate icing recipe!
You’re welcome Karen! It is a really great icing, so rich and creamy. It’s been a while since I made it, now I’m hungry for a batch!
