Directions
Chocolate Pound Cake With Fudge Icing, The chocolate frosting for this pound cake is almost like fudge This is from Taste of the South , used this frosting for Chocolate Eclair Dessert (by Pear) It took 30 minutes and a little powdered sugar to get it to thicken to spreadable consistency! However, it WAS a rainy day Also I accidentally used twice the amount of cocoa powder, so maybe that threw off the chemistry But I spread it on the refrigerated dessert and it was a perfect fudgey texture the next day! Tasty, too!, This cake was pretty good I loved the icing, but I found the cake a little on the dry side I could have overbeat it Next time, I will try using the buttermilk
