  1. As others mentioned, the granulated sugar leads to a very grainy texture. Using powdered sugar yielded a better consistency.
     
  2. Use caster sugar, regular sugar makes the icing grainy.
     
  3. this is AMAZING!! for a perfect buttercream-like icing that made all my guests think that the cake was store-bought, use icing (or powdered) sugar, and be patient: add the milk in little by little, use a whisk to combine it into the choc/flour mix, and don't go anywhere- just keep watching and stirring!
     
  4. The flavor of the icing was nice: the chocolate wasn't overpowering and was well balanced with the creamines of the icing. However, I used regular granulated sugar, which gave it a grainy, kind of crunchy texture. Perhaps the original recipe called for powdered sugar.
     
  5. Yum! I made this recipe to dress Recipe #216163 and it was so easy to put together, the flavour and texture was really good. Thank you Nonnie4Two
