Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.33 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl and let it come to room temperature for easier blending.
Step 2
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until it is creamy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the cocoa powder to the butter and mix on low speed until fully combined and evenly colored.
Step 4
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent it from puffing out of the bowl.
Step 5
Add the milk in small increments, about 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the frosting as needed. Keep blending until the texture is fluffy and spreadable.
Step 6
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt, and beat the frosting on medium-high speed for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure it's well-aerated and silky.
Step 7
Taste the frosting and adjust the consistency if needed. If too thick, add a tiny bit more milk; if too thin, mix in a little more powdered sugar.
Step 8
Spread or pipe the frosting onto your cooled baked goods, and enjoy the rich chocolatey goodness!
