Joy’s Chocolate Fudge Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 5 1/4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 10 tablespoons butter
• 2/3 cup milk

Steps

1. In a small pan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the cocoa powder; the mixture will resemble paste.
2. Transfer the chocolate to a large bowl. With the mixer on low, add the powdered sugar and milk, alternating the two. Reserve 2 tablespoons milk. Add the vanilla, and the rest of the milk if too thick.
3. Turn the mixer to medium high and beat for 5 minutes, until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
4. Frost cake or cupcakes as desired.
