Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 3 tablespoons milk more as needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Beat the butter in the bowl of a mixer until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and beat slowly until incorporated, increasing the speed to beat it more fully.
- Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl and add the cocoa powder, milk, vanilla, and salt. Mix on medium-high until completely smooth and combined. If the frosting is too stiff, add more milk one tablespoon at a time until it is a pipeable consistency.
- Use this frosting to frost cupcakes, cakes, or whatever dessert your heart desires.
