Chocolate for adults needs coffee added. Substitute the 1/3 cup of water with 1/3 cup of coffee. Then proceed. This recipe sounds great. Thank you for posting it.
Please tell me weight of the chocolate in grams. I cannot make your recipes when imperial measurements are given. If the rest of the world iuses metric, why can't both be given. It's so frustrating.
I'm concerned about the raw eggs too. After scouring the internet, the best suggestion that I saw repeated a few times is to use a tablespoon of heavy cream instead.
I made this to ice a dark chocolate layer cake for my mom’s 96th birthday. The crowd went wild. It was almost a little too rich and chocolatey for me, so if you’re one of those people who is never quite satisfied with the depth of a chocolate frosting, this one’s for you. I actually whipped it in my stand mixer for a couple of minutes at the end, which fluffed it up a bit and made it very easy to spread. This one’s a keeper.
How much does this recipe make? Enough for a 3-layer 8” cake, or should I double the recipe?
I have made the mistake of forgetting to melt the chocolate twice! Read below. melt the chocolate chunks in a separate pot/bowl while you melt the butter and cocoa powder. Also there is a lot of extra chocolate frosting. I put it in silicon ice cube trays with chopped nuts and you’ve got delicious fudge. Gonna measure how much I have left over and make note.
