Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter one stick
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Melt butter either in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl or in a small pan over low heat on the stove top. 
  • Sift powdered sugar and cocoa.
  • In a large bowl combine the melted butter with the cocoa.
  • Stir the vanilla into the milk.
  • Alternately add the powdered sugar and milk to the butter mixture stirring until well combined, with a rubber spatula, after each addition.

Notes

I start and end with the powdered sugar and do it in about 4 additions of sugar and 3 of milk. If frosting is too thick add a little milk, if frosting is too thin add a little bit more powdered sugar.
