Easy Dark Chocolate Frosting For Cakes

By Super

We often master in cake preparation but icing (frosting) is always a problem. The easiest way to frost a cake is melt the ordinary chocolate bar (by placing it in a plate over boiling water) and mixing with salted butter. Beating the mixture for a few minutes will result in a satin texture that can be spread on the cake with a spatula. We have one more frosting recipe, and that is, the healthy dark chocolate frosting which is more royal and serves the purpose in the last minute thanksgiving preparation. Take a look as it will also help you during Christmas.
