Chocolate Truffle Frosting
Luscious chocolate truffle frosting for chocolate cakes. Dust the frosted cake with cocoa powder for a beautiful, velvety finish. Makes enough to cover a 8-10 cm high cake baked in a 22 cm round cake tin, so if you're making a big cake, you might want to make a double batch.
