Has anyone please got a recipe for the cocoa butter icing. I'm going to cheat and buy a couple of swiss rolls.

Isn't it just chocolate buttercream?

[lotsafun]

yeah its just choc butter icing. You then dust it up with icing sugar

[Jemisa]

4 oz of Lurpak unsalted butter, beat it with a fork til its light and fluffy, fold in two tablespoons of cocoa powder and two tablespoons of icing sugar,beat til you're happy with the consistancy (may want to add more cocoa pwd,)

thanks jem. i did google recipes but they either contained high foluting ingredients such as 'confectioners sugar' or obscure US measurements that i care not to understand!

[pastafreak]

ahem!!.......US measurements are not 'obscure'....and 'confectioners sugar' IS icing sugar........

My husband bought me a jug with American measurements on (1 cup etc) so that I could do American recipes.

[pastafreak]

They are easy enough to find,Starbuckone...I have a Pyrex one.

I have a nice set of 'cup' measures as well as the 'normal' English equivalents. :-)
