Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups (sifted) powdered sugar
- 1 third-cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the butter and mix at low speed just until combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, alternating with small amounts of milk to maintain a smooth consistency. Continue mixing after each addition until well blended.
Add the vanilla extract and salt, then beat the frosting on medium speed for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the frosting is light, fluffy, and creamy.
If the frosting is too thick, add a small splash of milk (1 teaspoon at a time) until the desired consistency is reached. If it’s too thin, mix in a bit more powdered sugar.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature and stir before using.
