"I made this frosting to go on my grandma's ""Whacky Cake"" recipe. I sometimes like this cake without frosting, but was in the mood for chocolate. This was a very good, simple recipe to make. I like that it is not overly sweet. I would suggest that you take care when measuring butter and shortening or it may come out a little loose. (I was in a hurry and was little sloppy with the measurements). I also used a 1/2 butter/1/2 margerine product. My hubby loved it! I will make it again! Annie in Klipsan Beach"
