Serves/Makes: 5 cups
Ready in: < 30 minutes

  • 2/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream

Place the butter in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until it is light and fluffy.

With the mixer running on medium speed, add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar slowly. Mix well, scraping down the sides, until the frosting is a consistent color.

Add the vanilla and enough of the cream until the frosting is the desired spreading consistency.

One batch will frost one 2-layer 9-inch round cake or one 13x9-inch cake.
