Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder and powdered sugar to ensure a smooth frosting without any lumps.
Step 2
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the bowl and mix briefly to combine.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the boiling water, about 1-2 tablespoons at a time, while mixing continuously with a hand mixer on low speed.
Step 4
Once all the water is added, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip the mixture for 3-5 minutes until it becomes light, fluffy, and glossy.
Step 5
Smooth the frosting onto your cake or cupcakes immediately, as it sets slightly when left to sit.
Step 6
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Re-whip if needed before use.
