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

Scale

½ cup butter, softened

⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 cups powdered sugar

⅓ cup + 2 tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth.

Stir in cocoa until fully combined.

Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating until spreadable.

Stir in vanilla and beat for an extra minute until fluffy.

If needed, add a little more milk for desired consistency.

Notes

This icing is simple, satisfying, and always a hit—spread it on thick and enjoy every bite
