Instructions

  1. Whisk together the sugar, flour, and cocoa.
  2. Whisk in the milk then transfer to a small saucepan.
  3. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly for 4 to 6 minutes until it begins to boil.
  4. Once boiling, boil for 30 seconds only then remove from heat.
  5. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap touching and covering the surface and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  6. Melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted, then let cool.
  7. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter then add the pudding mix in small amounts, mixing a couple of times in between additions.
  8. Add the melted chocolate to the stand mixer and beat just until combined.
  9. Add the vanilla and salt and mix on medium speed for 6 to 8 minutes until light and fluffy and light brown in color.

Notes

  • Once whipped, this frosting recipe yields about 8 cups of frosting, the perfect amount to frost an 8 or 9-inch two-layer cake or a 6-inch 4 layer cake or 24 cupcakes. You would have excess frosting if used on a 9x13-inch cake.
