What’s a good icing for a dark chocolate bunt cake?

Question by LawComm: What’s a good icing for a dark chocolate bunt cake?
I’m making a “dark chocolate” cake mix in a bunt style pan. What should I ice it with? I’d prefer something easy. I’ve seen a “drizzle” type of icing in pictures for that kind of cake. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

A pound of Sour cream heated up in the microwave with a bag of choc chips melted in it. Add some triple sec if you like. It’s very glossy and it sets to a nice shiny finish. It takes about an hour to set.

How do you make chocolate cream icing, for chocolate cake?

Question by Anony Mouse: How do you make chocolate cream icing, for chocolate cake?
I LOVE chocolate cream, and tried to make it once, in order to put it on a chocolate cake, but it came out all buttery and no joy, and tasted rather horrible.

Does anyone have a surefire way or recipe to make proper, tasty, rich chocolate cream/soft icing?
