Chocolate Frosting

I know some folks find making frosting to be intimidating. There are some frostings that are a bit more challenging, but this frosting is as easy as could be and quite delicious. Homemade frosting is just so much better than canned frosting. Once you master an easy frosting like this one, go ahead and try the more challenging frostings.

I used this frosting on the Chocolate Spice Cake. It could easily be used on just about any cake. The recipe made enough frosting to easily frost a 13X9 pan cake and would work for a layer cake or other cake sizes. I ended up using electric beaters to get this frosting smooth.

Chocolate Frosting 

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 3 1/2 cup confectioners sugar

In a saucepan, melt butter. Remove from heat after melting and add cocoa and salt. Stir in milk and vanilla. Put all sugar in a bowl. Add chocolate mixture to sugar. Mix at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add one tablespoon more milk, if needed, for good spreading consistency. Frost your favorite cake. Enjoy!
