Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream the butter using a handheld or stand mixer until it is smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the butter and mix until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, one cup at a time, alternating with a few tablespoons of milk. Mix on low speed to prevent splattering, then increase to medium speed until fully incorporated.
Once all the powdered sugar and milk have been added, mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy, and smooth.
If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. If too thin, add a small amount of powdered sugar.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or brownies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow the frosting to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
