Mix (do not whip) all ingredients in a bowl. Set in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. Then beat until mixture is so thick it holds it's shape and will stand in peaks. This makes enough frosting for top, sides and between layers of 3 layer cake, even when you use a generous hand. Note: Pop cake in refrigerator after frosting to allow to set. Store cake in refrigerator so frosting will not spoil.

a thin coating. As this is a decadant recipe, I double it and frost the cake with about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of frosting between layers.... you still have enough to frost top and sides with about a 1/4 inch layer. It looks very professional this way and I always get rave reviews at work when I've brought in a dark chocolate cake with this frosting.
