Very easy, light and smooth. I haven't made a layer cake in years so I really appreciated it!!! -
I love this chocolatey smooth frosting that went really well w/your Extreme Chocolate Cola Cake. Not too sweet which is always a plus for me. In that way it doesn't take away from the cake. Thanks Carol~ -
This is my second frosting/icing recipe of Kit's that I've tried. I like the other one Recipe #81988 more, but this one is very good too. This one is easier to make, so when I don't want to deal with whipping egg whites, I'll make this. It turned out very smooth and fluffy. I put it on recipe#2767. Thanks again, Kit.
