    Now you know me and I want my chocolate desserts to taste rich and chocolatey, so you know I couldn’t just let cocoa powder do all the heavy lifting! I invited melted bittersweet chocolate and an epic amount of butter to this party. But it is still easy to mix and it all comes together with a whisk and a little elbow grease.

    So pick your favorite frosting or let them shine all on their own!
