Ingredients
Fudge Frosting:
½ cup salted butter (1 stick)
½ cup cocoa powder *see note
3 ⅔ cup powdered sugar
6-7 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
½ cup salted butter (1 stick)
½ cup cocoa powder *see note
3 ⅔ cup powdered sugar
6-7 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Preparation
Using a medium glass bowl, melt the stick of butter in microwave. Whisk in cocoa powder, then heat for 1 minute.
Add powdered sugar and milk alternately, beating with a hand mixer until creamy. Add vanilla last, beating in until mixed well.
If you use this frosting while still warm, it is easily spreadable and has a glossy finish when dried. It does tend to slide off whatever you are frosting.
If you let it cool completely, then it firms up and can be placed into a pastry bag for piping for decorating cakes or cupcakes.
The icing can be refrigerated to use later; just microwave 10 seconds at a time, and stir, until you get to the right consistency for piping or spreading.
