Does anyone have a favorite cake frosting recipe? We like buttercream vs. whipped. I'm using canned frosting for the cupcakes since those are for the kids but wanted something homemade for the cakes. TIA

Did you want chocolate? It's been a few years, but this was easy and oh so yummy. Low calorie too!

Mrs. Milman's Chocolate Frosting

Ingredients

Makes 6 cups

24 ounces Nestle semisweet chocolate morsels
4 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon light corn syrup

Directions

Place chocolate morsels and cream in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until combined and thickened, between 20 and 25 minutes. Increase the heat to medium low; cook, stirring, 3 minutes more. Remove pan from heat.
Stir in corn syrup. Transfer frosting to a large metal bowl. Chill until cool enough to spread, about 2 hours, checking and stirring every 15 to 20 minutes. Use immediately.

I'm a buttercream fan. This is pretty much the recipe I use. Sometime I use a flavoring instead of milk or cut back on the amount of milk.

I love the frosting recipe that is on the back of most powdered sugar boxes. I use almond flavoring instead of vanilla and it is YUMMY!!
