Question 1

WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF FROSTING FOR CHOCOLATE CAKE?

Accepted Answer

The answer to this question will be different for everyone, but when it comes to rich chocolate cake, I prefer this chocolate buttercream made with melted chocolate over one made with cocoa powder, simply because the creamy chocolate flavor complements the cake so differently and still lets the cake flavor shine through. My advice? Make two cakes and two frostings, and then you can be your own judge!

Question 2

CAN I USE CHOCOLATE CHIPS OR ANOTHER KIND OF CHOCOLATE FOR THIS RECIPE?

Accepted Answer

I have only tested this recipe using unsweetened chocolate, so it is specifically written to accommodate the taste and water content of unsweetened chocolate. Using chocolate chips or even semi-sweet baking chocolate may change your flavor result as well as the consistency of the frosting.

Question 3

WHAT IS FUDGE FROSTING MADE OF?

Accepted Answer

American buttercream is typically made with butter and powdered sugar. Instead of bringing the chocolate flavor with cocoa powder, fudge frosting relies on melted chocolate for its intense chocolate flavor.

Question 4

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GANACHE AND FUDGE FROSTING?

Accepted Answer

Chocolate fudge and chocolate ganache are two similar sweets that we often make with melted chocolate. They are, however, quite different! Ganache is a mixture of chocolate and cream, often used as a topping or filling, and fudge frosting incorporates butter as well as powdered sugar to give it a completely different texture than ganache.
