I made the buttercream frosting for my husbands birthday last week. But I coulnt find Ovaltine in my store (odd I know) so I substituted Ghiradelli hot chocolate. It didnt pour necessarily…but it made a mouse like mixture. The frosting turned out fluffy and rich. DELICIOUS! Its hard not to eat it with a spoon. This has to be the best chocolate buttercream recipe Ive ever made…and I do quite a bit of baking. Thanks!

Thank you for the frosting. It is wonderful!! My 3 year old son had a request for strawberry cake with chocolate frosting. I found your blog and have become a huge fan. So as crazy as it sounds I made your southern style strawberry cake with the this frosting and although not the perfect pair, he loved it. And they both turned out great.

This frosting is absolutely wonderful!! I have made several different recipes on the back of cocoa boxes and sugar boxes. I should have come here first. So easy and so yummy with a lot of ingredients I already had. Thank you!!

I am an avid and experienced baker and I have made this buttercream frosting several times now and it is without a doubt, superb! I brought these cupcakes to a party a few weeks ago and a skinny little 90 pound woman ate so many that I feared she would lapse into a diabetic coma! Take out insurance before you make them!!

I lover your blog!! ok I’m always ready to try a new recipe especially if it has chocolate. But there seems to be a contradiction here. On the one page you say Ovaltine sucks. I agree. But how does it make your choc buttercream frosting rock? If it has no chocoalty flavor??
