Chocolate Frosting

Written by on in Frosting/Icing

When I was a young girl, our neighbor, Helen Iverson, made the most memorable chocolate frosting I’ve ever had. It’s light and fluffy and luckily, she shared the recipe with me. It’s the perfect amount of frosting for a cake baked in a 9×13 inch pan. If you’re frosting a layer cake, double the recipe.
