This is the chocolate icing recipe that you didn’t know you needed!
I bet once you make this – that you will never make another type of chocolate icing ever again.
Pair this icing with a chocolate cake. Or perhaps a banana cake. Or a red velvet cake. The opportunities are endless.
I recommend making Mandy’s Chocolate Cake.

I also do apologise for the amount of icing you will lick from the spatula once you have iced the cake – but you have to taste test it right?!
