Black Frosting
Report
This delicious black frosting is fun to make for special occasions, especially for Halloween, seasonal treats, and desserts. It's made with black cocoa powder, which tastes just like Oreo's! The best part is that it won't dye your mouth, hands, or clothing! It's the perfect frosting for witchy cakes and other dramatic parties.

Instructions
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup black cocoa powder, and 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour to a pan and whisk to combine. Add 1 cup milk and whisk to combine. Cook over medium heat while whisking until it reaches a thin pudding-like consistency, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the milk mixture from the heat and transfer to a small heat-proof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap so it touches the surface of the milk mixture and chill in the fridge for at least 40 minutes until it has set up into a thick paste.
- Add room-temperature 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on high speed for about 8 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl a couple of times to ensure all of the butter is whipped.
- Add the cooled flour mixture to the whipped butter one scoop at a time while whipping on medium speed until fully incorporated.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and switch to the paddle attachment. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 dash salt and beat on medium speed for 10-13 minutes, until smooth and fluffy, with a nice glossy shine.
Notes
- 3 1/2 cups of frosting is enough for a 2-layer 8-inch cake or 24 cupcakes.
