Time 45m

Yield 2 cups of frosting

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Beat 3 sticks softened butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2 minutes. Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar on low speed until combined.
  • Add 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons vanilla and beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in 6 ounces cooled melted semisweet chocolate until smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 more minutes.
  • Spread the frosting on the cake. Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the frosting.
  • Soften the butter to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help the frosting become light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the confectioners' sugar to the butter mixture, alternating with milk or cream. This will help prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or lumpy.
  • Add cocoa powder to taste. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired chocolate flavor.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk or cream. If it is too thin, add more confectioners' sugar.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This fluffy butter cocoa frosting is the perfect way to top off your favorite chocolate cake, cupcakes, or brownies. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
