Momou's Famous Chocolate Icing

The day I discovered this particular recipe I was sitting on my bedroom floor as a new bride spending another afternoon sorting through Momou's priceless recipe collection. I came across a recipe written in her handwriting in a blue marker on a piece of cardboard. Such a different type of recipe compared to all of the other yellowed newspaper and magazine recipes. I took a closer look and all of a sudden tears started filling up my eyes. This was it. "THE" recipe. Momou's famous chocolate icing.

For each and every birthday Momou made us a delicious yellow two layer cake covered in this amazing icing. So many special memories are attached to this chocolate concontion. And I warn you, this icing is so delicious that you WILL want to lick the entire bowl!

Last Monday we celebrated my darling hubby's birthday so of course I carried on with tradition. A yellow cake topped with Momou's famous chocolate icing. It was a hit with the birthday boy and all of the others who had a slice.

Oh and another warning...you will never want to go back to store brought icing that comes in a "tub". You just mark my words! Why would you when you can make this amazing icing from scratch in just a matter of minutes?
