Description
This chocolate icing brings me back to birthdays at home, when my mom would spread it thick over a warm cake fresh from the oven. It’s rich, smooth, and made with love—the kind of frosting that gets licked straight off the spoon. Whip this up for your next dessert and bring a little joy to your table.
Ingredients
½ cup butter, softened
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
⅓ cup + 2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Notes
