This frosting recipe is quite good. However, I did have to add more milk to it to reach a smooth frosting consistency. The amount suggested was not enough. I halved the recipe and it was enough to cover the tops of the 7 chocolate-mayo cupcakes I had made with another recipe, very similar to this one. It´s a good, simple recipe and I´m glad I gave it a try. I think this will be my go to chocolate frosting recipe since I usually have the ingredients on hand. I haven´t tried the cake recipe so this rating is just for the frosting...
