Today we show you how to make this simple (American) chocolate frosting. The frosting itself is ready quickly, but it must then be allowed to set for (at least once) half an hour. So you can take that into account. Piping it on neatly is a matter of practice, but with this cake it is not that important, as long as there is a lot of chocolate frosting on top ;))

Chop the chocolate finely.

Melt it au bain marie.

Stir when it starts to melt.

Let the chocolate cool down.

In the meantime, beat the icing sugar and butter with the mixer for 5 - 10 minutes, until pale and creamy

Gradually add the cocoa (not like this!) :))) and beat in in.

Then fold the melted chocolate into the butter mixture..

Beat well until you have a nice smooth, soft frosting.
