Ingredients
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter or margarine
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Water (or plant-based milk, optional)
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
Step 2
Add the vegan butter or margarine to the bowl and use a hand mixer or stand mixer on low speed to combine the ingredients. The mixture will be crumbly at this stage.
Step 3
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, and continue mixing to evenly distribute the flavors.
Step 4
Gradually add the water (or plant-based milk if you prefer) one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. You may need slightly more or less water depending on your preference for thickness.
Step 5
Once smooth and creamy, give the frosting a taste and adjust the sweetness or texture if needed by adding a tiny bit more powdered sugar or water.
Step 6
Spread the frosting on your cooled cake, cupcakes, or cookies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
