DARK CHOCOLATE FROSTING
This deep, dark, satiny frosting (thanks to the addition of melted semisweet chocolate) is a favorite of our food editors, since it has just the right consistency for spreading or piping into beautiful swirls. It also has a wonderful sheen. Use it to decorate our Candied Hazelnut Cupcakes or Easy Chocolate Cupcakes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will cook too quickly and the center will be undercooked.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. If you frost the cake while it is still warm, the frosting will melt and slide off.
- Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate for the frosting. This will help to prevent the chocolate from burning.

This dark chocolate cake with double fudge icing is a rich and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, and the frosting is creamy and chocolatey. With a few simple tips, you can make this cake at home and impress your friends and family.
