- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar, sifted
Directions
Step 1
Beat butter and 1/4 cup cocoa powder together in a bowl with an electric mixer on low until light and fluffy. Gradually add milk, remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Cook?s Note
Margarine can be substituted for butter if desired.For a more dark chocolaty taste, or to counteract the sometimes prevalent taste of confectioner's sugar, add more cocoa powder.
