Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 Tbsp butter, room temperature (1 stick)
1/2 c cocoa
1/2 c chocolate syrup
3 c powdered sugar, sifted
1 Tbsp milk, more if needed for consistency desired
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Place the butter, cocoa powder, and chocolate syrup in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined, 30 seconds.
  • 2. Stop the mixer and add confectioners sugar, milk, and vanilla. Blend with the mixer on low speed until the sugar is incorporated, 1 minute.
  • 3. Increase the speed to medium and beat until fluffy, 1 minute more.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your frosting. Use a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best results.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: When melting the chocolate, be careful not to overheat it. Overheated chocolate can become thick and grainy.
  • Let the frosting cool slightly before using: Once the frosting is made, let it cool slightly before using it. This will help it to thicken up and become easier to spread.
  • Use the frosting on your favorite cakes or cupcakes: Chocolate syrup frosting is a delicious addition to any chocolate cake or cupcake. It can also be used to frost brownies, cookies, and other desserts.

Conclusion:

Chocolate syrup frosting is a simple and delicious way to add a rich, chocolatey flavor to your favorite desserts.
