This chocolate fudge frosting is perfect for cake or cupcakes, and it whips up quickly with this easy recipe! Makes enough to frost a 9-inch layer cake or 24 cupcakes.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
- 1 pound confectioners' sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Place butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes.
Step 2
Combine confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer and slowly blend in melted chocolate mixture. Add remaining 1/4 cup milk, a little at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
Step 3
Let stand until frosting thickens enough to spread, 5 to 10 minutes.
