Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
Add the softened butter, milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl.
Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the ingredients on low speed until incorporated.
Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat the frosting until it becomes smooth, fluffy, and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
If the frosting is too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time.
Once mixed to perfection, spread or pipe the frosting onto your baked goods immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Bring refrigerated frosting to room temperature and beat it again before using for the best texture.
