Chocolate Frosting/Glaze

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 cup of sugar
    1/2 of a teaspoon of vanilla extract
    1/2 of a cup of cocoa powder
    2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons - 3 tablespoons of vanilla soy milk

Directions:

Mix all ingredients. Use more soymilk for glaze, less for frosting.

For chocolate-mint: add some peppermint extract, you can add less vanilla if you want.  Probably 1/8 of a teaspoon, I have never measured, all I know is it is a very small amount, just a couple drops or so.

Serves: infinite amounts!


This is very good but I wouldn't say it serves infinite amounts since it only thinly frosts a 9x13 inch cake so if you like a little thicker frosting you'll want to double the recipe.  I also had to add a little bit more rice milk because it was a little bit too thick.

i followed the recipe exactly for the first batch i made and it had a bitter aftertaste. the second time i used 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 2 tbsp almond milk, and 1 tsp of almond extract. it was amazing and complimented the white cake i made perfectly. i ended up eating the rest of frosting off the cake! thanks for recipe, i will definitely be making this again and again!

Hmm. I was a little dissappointed with this recipe. The liquid amount was pretty off, as 3 TBLS was hardly enough to blend the dry ingrediants together. I had to add a good amount of additional liquid to make it come together. The final product was gritty and a little bitter. I didn't know how to salvage this as I've never made frosting before, so I ended up tossing it. I tasted it beforehand though and I have to say it was more like the beginning of a brownie batter than anything else. It tasted good, but def. not frosting. Thanks though!

Mine was gritty at first, too, so I just cooked it over medium high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolved.  It made a good glaze to drizzle over my cake.
