Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 0.33 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until it is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into the butter and mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid a cloud of sugar. After each addition, increase the speed to medium and beat until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, as needed to reach your desired frosting consistency. Mix well after each addition.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, and mix on high speed for 1-2 minutes for a creamy and fluffy texture.
Step 6
Taste the frosting and adjust if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or a splash more vanilla extract if desired.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost your cake, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using if chilled.
