Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
By: Mimi in Maine
Feb 3, 2007
A nice, creamy butter frosing. I got this from a Hershey can of cocoa and have made it many times when I want a chocolate frosting. It is extra good and you can regulate the amount of chocolate you have in it. In the recipe below you will find three different amounts of cocoa. You choose what you like--will it be light flavor, medium flavor, or dark flavor? But only use one of the amounts of cocoa.
2 cups
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons soft butter
- 2 2/3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/3 cup hershey's cocoa (light flavor)
- 1/2 cup hershey's cocoa (medium flavor)
- 3/4 cup hershey's cocoa (dark flavor)
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
1
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the butter till creamy.2
Add the confectioners sugar and cocoa alternately with the milk.3
Beat to spreading consistency--additional milk may be needed; add sparingly.4
Beat in the vanilla.

Very creamy and delicious! I made the dark version of this recipe and it was the perfect finish to our dark chocolate cake. This was for my son's birthday. He gave it the final stamp of approval. 
I found that it was just the right amount to ice a 2-layer cake.

I love buttercream frosting and decided to try this one on a vanilla cake I was making. It was an excellent choice to frost my cake with, and I will be using this from now on because I had such good results with it!
