Chocolate Frosting II

Chocolate cake must always come with chocolate frosting...well, most always-German Chocolate Cake may be and exception!  Still there can never be too many chocolate frosting recipes and this is one of my favorites! (and no sweetened condensed milk required!)

This is a rich, dark chocolate frosting with just the right balalnce of bitter dark chocolate and sweetness to compliment my Chocolate Birthday Cake!
