Are you looking for a special frosting to spread on a special cake..Then this is it. Even though it is a rum infused chocolate frosting, you can easily skip this and make it plain chocolate frosting. Totally yummy indeed. This frosting is so fudgy and chocolaty you can never resist it by digging it with a spoon.
