Frosting - Creamy Chocolate Oh my, when this is warm it is like a melted chocolate! When it cools some it is like a truffle. Don't be afraid to pile it on. You won't regret it! In bosch mixer with wire whips beat:
5 sticks softened unsalted butter 8 oz powdered sugar 4 oz cocoa powder pinch salt -beat until smooth Gently beat in: 1 T vanilla Gently beat in: 1 whole pound plus bar of chocolate from Trader Joes (16 oz chocolate chips works too), melted and cooled slightly (85* - 100*) I used 72% but you could use the 54% or even the milk chocolate. Until smooth and creamy. -you may have to wait a bit before frosting the cake but be sure to frost with the frosting very soft as it really hardens up as it cools. -It rewarms from the fridge just fine to frost with if you've refrigerated it.
