For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Ensure your butter is properly softened, but not melted, for optimal creaminess. Chilling the evaporated milk helps to create a smoother frosting. This frosting will generously cover the top and sides of an 8- or 9-inch cake. For filling, you may want to increase the recipe by 50%.
