2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 dash salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the icing thicker, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner icing, add more milk or cream.
  • If you want a glossy icing, add 1 tablespoon of corn syrup.
  • To make chocolate ganache icing, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until it simmers. Pour it over 8 ounces of finely chopped chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • To store the icing, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
