Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Add the milk and vanilla, and whisk until frothy. Make sure the cocoa powder has completely dissolved. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, with an electric hand mixer, or by hand with a whisk (and a strong arm!), beat the powdered sugar into the the cocoa mixture a little at a time until fully incorporated. The frosting should be thick but spreadable. If runny, add more powdered sugar; if too stiff, work in a teaspoon of milk.
