I made this recipe exactly according to the directions, even though the amount of cocoa listed was excessive. The icing was bitter. Even my husband did not like it, and he eats everything. I threw it in the garbage. Then I read the notes from the author (Luckynum49), maybe the hot cocoa mix by Ghirardelli was used, not the unsweetened cocoa that the recipe lists as an ingredient.
