Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup chocolate syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to remove any lumps. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter on low speed until just combined.
Step 3
Pour in the chocolate syrup and mix on medium speed until the frosting is smooth and well incorporated.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and salt, then mix again to evenly distribute the flavor.
Step 5
Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. It should be creamy but spreadable.
Step 6
Use immediately to frost a cooled cake, cupcakes, or brownies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
