Chocolate Frosting
0 Comments
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
