Home Made Chocolate Frosting ...How Divine!

Remember the days of waiting patiently as mom frosted a cake hoping that there would be a least some left to lick off the spoon.

What a treat!! When was the last time you made chocolate frosting? This recipe is so easy - even if you don't have children who will want to lick the spoon ~ I'm sure Hubby will be diving in!!


Made with Love ~Chocolate Frosting

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions
In a large bowl, combine butter and cocoa; beat until well mixed. Add in the milk, vanilla and salt; beat until smooth. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until frosting is smooth and creamy. Add more milk if you want a thinner consistency

  2. I'll bookmark this for my next cake. Admittedly my cakes are never really success stories so I desperately need good ideas like this one to keep it all together and save face!!

  6. I made a dark chocolate frosting to go with a cake I made last week. My son definitely licked the spoon and scraped out the bowl. He says I am stingy and do not leave enough on the spoon and in bowl when I make desserts!
