I have had some chocolate cake in my freezer that i made a few months ago and needed to be eaten so i decided to make some chocolate icing for it and serve it up for dessert last night. Problem, no cocoa powder, instead what i did was this:
melt about a handful of dark block chocolate and the same of milk block chocolate, add a splash (or two or three) of port. add icing sugar to thicken and mix in some butter for a creamy spreadable texture. (you will just have to play this one by ear as i have no idea of how much of what i put in)
it came out tasting delicious and i finished the cake off with some black cherries and a sprinkle of icing sugar. we ate it with whipped cream and my partner and my brother gave it the thumbs up.
