It’s also the perfect frosting for decorating a layer cake – smooth and creamy and really easy to work with. You could stop there, but for a little something extra, whip up a small batch of chocolate buttercream.

Then add your favourite chocolates on top. What you’ll end up with is a buttery mud cake made with real white chocolate, a creamy frosting also made with white chocolate and a little real chocolate buttercream sitting alongside pieces of your favourite chocolate.
