In reply to Margie z. Hi, Margie-- that is not necessary in frosting, but you can do it if you would prefer.

I haven’t made this yet but I learned recently about blooming the cocoa powder before adding it… either in hot coffee (just enough to make a somewhat runny paste) or other liquid. Do you think this would be ok here?

We used almond milk. Worked just fine. Still kept a smooth and creamy texture. Flavor didn’t change from a traditional choco frosting.

I just made a half batch to put on a hot milk cake and it was so good!

THIS IS THE ONE!!! Stop searching if you are looking for that nostalgic childhood chocolate frosting your mom would make from the tub but way better and cleaner!! Thick and rich not runny! I used Ghirardelli’s Dutch chocolate for most and a few teaspoons of Ghirardelli’s regular cocoa powder to add layers of flavor! Too top it off this was super easy and came together in minutes! Going in the forever chocolate frosting one and only!

In reply to Gwendolynn Demby. Hi, Gwendolynn-- this will work for a 9" cake, you just won't have a whole lot extra. If you want, you can 1.5x the recipe to ensure you have enough to cover that extra inch. Enjoy!
