Chocolate Truffle Frosting

"Luscious chocolate truffle frosting for chocolate cakes. Dust the frosted cake with cocoa powder for a beautiful, velvety finish. Makes enough to cover a 8-10 cm high cake baked in a 22 cm round cake tin, so if you're making a big cake, you might want to make a double batch."

  • Allow the mixture to cool a bit.
  • Add the whipped cream, the powdered sugar and cognac or coffee (if using), stir to combine.
