After much trial and error, I think I have finally found the best recipe for chocolate frosting that can complete any dessert. I recently made this frosting with chocolate cake, and it was absolutely perfect! It’s so rich and easy to make, I just had to share it.

Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk

Instructions:
(If you have access to a hand or stand mixer, I would recommend using it – it’s easier.)
1. Beat butter in a large bowl until fluffy in texture.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder and salt.
3. While mixing on low speed, carefully pour in about half of the dry mixture until well incorporated. Then, add in vanilla.
4. Mix in the rest of the dry mixture in increments, alternating between the dry mixture and pouring milk until you are happy with the texture. (You can always add more or less milk than I did if you want a thicker or creamier frosting.)
