Ingredients
This recipe makes enough frosting to cover the top and sides of a 9-inch cake, or to frost 24 cupcakes. It can easily be halved or doubled if you need more or less.
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) butter, melted
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
To make this cooked chocolate frosting, start by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in the cocoa powder, making sure there are no lumps. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, and stir to combine. Cook the frosting over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble. This should take about 5 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture boil. Once the frosting is thick and creamy, remove it from the heat and let it cool before using.
Equipment
You will need a medium saucepan to make this frosting. You can use a whisk or a wooden spoon to stir the ingredients together.
Notes
This frosting is best used immediately after it has cooled, but you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To use, let it come to room temperature and give it a good stir before using. If it seems too thick, you can add a little more milk to thin it out.
