A very fluffy, light cocoa frosting. I love to make frosting with butter, you get a dreamy, creamy consistency.

2 cups approx. (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 lb butter, very soft
2 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa (or more for darker, richer flavor)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-3 tablespoons milk or cream (to desired spreading consistency)

Directions

1
In a bowl (or 4 cup glass measuring cup is easier) add powdered sugar and cocoa.
2
Cut in soft butter with a knife or fork.
3
Add vanilla.
4
Using mixer beat until fluffy.
5
Add the milk or cream now until spreadable consistency is achieved.
6
Frost COOLED (if warm it will melt the butter) cake, cookies, brownies, whatever!
7
I use this recipe for my Moist Fudgy Cocoa Brownies.
8
Yummy!

This was very good. I made a half batch and it worked out great to put just a thin layer of frosting on a pan of brownies I made. I plan on using it again this weekend. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

Bummer. I put this on my birthday cake, but didn't care for the taste or texture. It is similar to the type that comes on inexpensive cakes from the supermarket, if you are keen on that type. I guess I like a creamy, not fluffy texture.
