This recipe is amazing. I like to use a tbsp. more cocoa and a slight touch of vanilla. It is soft, fluffy, delicious frosting! I use it every time i bake.

This recipe is a good starting point. I found it to sweet and missing a little something. I added a 1/2 tsp of vanilla and about an ounce of softened cream cheese.

This recipe was SUPER!! We will only use this recipe; no others!

Very good tasting frosting but if I were you I would replace one tbsp of milk with one tbsp of freshly brewed coffee as well as a dash of vanilla. Also, it tastes quite good as it is but I prefer a darker chocolate flavour and added and extra tbsp of cocoa powder.

Great frosting, but I added an extra tbsp. of cocoa and a 1/2 tbsp. of vanilla. Turned out perfect!!

This is a great recipe, but it needed more milk and powdered sugar. Once added more of that it came out great!

This worked out perfectly - very light and fluffy, and really helped to sift the cocoa and sugar together before adding. I added 1 tsp real vanilla extract and it made for a nice smooth chocolate flavor. Will definitely be using this again.

Sometimes, the simpler, the better. In this case, pure and simple = delicious! I did not use the cocoa powder, but instead melted a bag of Ghiradelli milk chocolate morsels and added a little half and half to thin it out. Used Plugra unsalted butter and of course the powdered sugar - everyone in my house was fighting over the mixing bowl! I will never go back to store bought frosting! Thanks for the recipe!

I used margarine instead of butter (6 tbsp., 1 cup powdered sugar, 4 tbsp. nestle cocoa powder, 3 tbsp. heavy cream instead of milk, 1 tbsp. vanilla, 1/4 tsp. salt...) I would marry myself if I could after tasting the frosting =-)

This recipe was wonderful, but I do not recommend using this recipe for vanilla buttercream, not good for that. The chocolate was awesome!

I added some raspberry extract to make a delicious chocolate raspberry cake... It was great!

Just made this recipe and adjusted just a little. A little vanilla and you have a great cocoa buttercream frosting which was extremely tasty and light!

Definitely add some vanilla, and I had to add a little more sugar.

I really liked the frosting you just have to add and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Other than that it was amazing!!

Excellent and I never like chocolate icing. I added extra cocoa and 2 tbsp of Crisco to lessen the sweet and stiffen it up.
