Chocolate Frosting

So this frosting is super easy and really really good. DO NOT buy frosting from the store because making it yourself makes all the difference in the world. You will want to dip your fingers in this frosting and lick it all off. Ok go ahead and do it, you know you want to, just make sure there is enough left to frost the cake!

10 oz. finely chopped chocolate

1 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/3 cups powdered sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 1/4 sticks butter, cut into chunks and softened

Bring the cream, corn syrup, and salt to a boil in the microwave. While it's heating in the microwave, put the chopped chocolate in a blender. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and process until smooth.

Add the sugar and vanilla and blend again until smooth. Add the softened butter, one piece at a time, blending after each addition.

Once everything is all smooth, put the frosting in the fridge for about an hour to an hour and a half until thick and spreadable. Then frost your gorgeous cake!
