Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

The addition of chocolate to a cream cheese frosting seems rather strange. Its good on the cake, mostly because it isn't all that sweet, but when you scoop up a finger full (and face it, we all sneak a finger full, don't we?), it struck me as odd.

Nevertheless, it did well for my daughter's FOURTH birthday cake this week. Well, I guess you only become a teenager once.

We put this on a buttermilk devils food cake, and it was nice, but I think I preferred the peppermint buttercream frosting from the same book.
