Chocolate Fluffy Frosting
Chocolate Fluffy Frosting with Chocolate Cupcakes
I usually am not a frosting person, did you gasp when you read that? I am one of those that likes my cake just plain usually. We have a great cupcake bakery by the house and they have more frosting than cake, usually I take most of it off. However I loved this frosting and I think you will also.
I baked cupcakes from a box and added a snickers bar to the cupcakes which fell to the bottom despite the fact I placed them on top of the batter. I was hoping it wouldn’t fall all the way down but it did. As soon as I figure out how to keep the candy bar from dropping all the all the way down, I will let you know.
When I make a box cake batter I always add margarine to it, it keeps the batter really moist. I don’t care what brand it is, I use 1 1/4 cups water, 3 eggs and a stick of margarine. Butter doesn’t work as well for some reason, it tends to be a drier cake than with the margarine so I buy margarine for when I need to make a quick cake.
- 2/3 cup cocoa
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 cup butter
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 cups confectioners sugar
- Heat whipping cream to a boil. Add cocoa to your mixing bowl and pour whipped cream over it. Stir well to blend. Let the mixture cool.
- Add butter a tablespoon at a time. Add vanilla and salt.
- Add confectioners sugar and whip until the desired consistency. (about 5 minutes)
Maybe you’d like to try?

I’ve heard that you can coat things in flour and they won’t fall to the bottom of the cake. Never tried it though. Thanks for the recipe.
