Chocolate Frosting

Many of you have requested an irresistible Chocolate Frosting recipe to finish off your Hannah’s Pantry Chocolate Fudge Cake.

I am so happy to share my 2 favourite icing recipes with you. I love to sandwich the 2 cake layers together using my chosen frosting, top my cake with the remainder of the frosting and finish by decorating with plenty of fresh seasonal berries.

The first recipe is a rich and flavoursome icing, ‘Avocado, Nut butter & Cacao Frosting’ – something a little more ‘out there’ for the adventurous baker. 

The second recipe is a ‘Chocolate Buttercream Frosting’, always vegan but made in the same way you would a traditional Chocolate icing.

Don’t forget to share your creations with me on social media.

With Love,

Hannah Xx

Instructions

2. Ensure your cake is fully cooled before applying your icing.
