Make It

BEAT butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add about half of the sugar, beating on low speed after each addition until well blended. Add chocolate and vanilla; mix well.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Here's a delicious frosting recipe for your favorite cakes and cupcakes. Make certain that you pay attention to the amount of frosting that you use. It's rich, so a little goes a long way. Recipe makes enough to frost tops and sides of 2 (8- or 9-inch) cake layers, top and sides of 13x9-inch cake, tops of 3 (8- or 9-inch) cake layers or 24 cupcakes.

Cooking Know-How

If frosting becomes too thick, beat in additional milk by teaspoonfuls until of spreading consistency.

Substitute

Substitute 1-1/2 pkg. (4 oz.) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate (6 oz.) for the 4 oz. BAKER'S Unsweetened Baking Chocolate.

I made a chocolate cake from a mix and wanted to top it with something special for my friend's 30th birthday. This icing was SUPERB. The kids and the adults LOVED it! It's easy to spread is very rich, so cut the cake in small pieces! Everyone wanted the recipe and I gladly gave it out; store bought tubs just can't compare to something like this.

This was so easy to make! I baked a cake for my sister's birthday and didn't want to put store-bought frosting on a homemade cake. It was fantastic!

Wonderfully creamy. What I liked best is that it sets up well, so that you can put plastic wrap on it & not lose half of it when removing the covering. Yum yum good too.
