Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Confectioners' sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.33 cup Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder in a separate bowl to remove any lumps.
Step 3
Gradually add the sifted sugar and cocoa mixture to the butter, 1/2 cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 4
Once all the dry ingredients are incorporated, add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture.
Step 5
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue beating until the icing is light, fluffy, and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the sweetness or chocolate flavor, if desired. Add a teaspoon of heavy cream at a time for a thinner consistency, or sifted confectioners' sugar for a thicker consistency.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other baked goods, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before use if chilled.
