Really rich, but super delicious!! I doubled the recipe and am using it to frost a vanilla cake right now (two 9 inch rounds). I don't think the recipe would be enough for an 8 inch cake, but go ahead and try! Super delicious!

This is amazing! Tastes like store bought and it works wonders on a cake! It's rich and thick and is just amazing!

This is THE absolute BEST homemade chocolate frosting recipe I've found on the 'net to date. Yes, it is rich -- as it should be. I'm baking the Texas Sheet Cake for my birthday cake and don't want the hot icing it calls for, even tho I've been making it that way for years (def one of our family favorites!). I just finished making this icing recipe and I'm very impressed. Thank you for sharing it with us! The Indian guys I'm working with here in Bangalore are going to be in heaven lol =D

Excellent frosting but did add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and just a hair more salt. Did double recipe to frost 4 tiered 9-inch cake.

I had to add about 1 more cup of powdered sugar.

Not good to eat raw egg.

If you have concerns about eggs, you can buy Pasteurized eggs at the store. They come in a carton.
