Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Good chocolate frosting; easy to prepare on the stovetop. Does not require a mixer. I had enough to frost a 9 x 13 inch cake. I used 6 ounces of 70% Lindt chocolate bars, not cocoa powder.

    This was too finicky (had to stay refrigerated, etc) for my taste. It also ended up a little sweet. It made a fine cake, but I prefer just plain buttercream.
