Best chocolate frosting ever! http://foodess.com/recipes/fluffy-chocolate-frosting/

Ingredients

• 12 ounces/340 grams good quality dark/bittersweet chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped

• 8 ounces/227 grams/1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

• 1/4 cup cocoa powder (either natural or dutch process are fine)

• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

• pinch salt

• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup whipping cream

Preparation

1. Melt the chocolate in the microwave on 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring each time - stop when it's about 70% melted, and stir vigorously to melt the rest. In my microwave, it took a total of 2 1/2 minutes. (Alternatively, melt in a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water - careful not to get a single drop of water in the bowl, or chocolate will seize). Allow chocolate to cool to room temperature.
