Hershey's One-One Bowl Buttercream Frosting ♥

By Addie

This came from the side of a Hershey's Cocoa Tin from the 80's. I don't know if this is posted anywhere on this site, but I wanted to keep it for my files. Please note the amount of cocoa you add to the frosting - There are different amounts listed for the chocolate intensity you would like your frosting to taste.

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/3 cup hershey's cocoa (See Note Below)
• 2 2/3 cups unsifted confectioners' sugar
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter or margarine in small mixer bowl.
Add cocoa and confectioners sugar alternately with milk; beat to spreading consistency (additional tablespoon milk may be needed).
Blend in vanilla.
Makes 2 cups frosting.

***1/3 cup for light flavor.
***1/2 cup for medium flavor.
***3/4 cup for dark flavor.

Perfect icing. I use this everytime I make chocolate cake, which is at least twice a month. Everyone loves the creamy chocolate flavour and my two boys fight to lick out the bowl. I usually mix it by hand which is great as I don't have to get the mixer dirty. Thank you!

Love this frosting with or without the cocoa. Also used it with cocoa and 1 tblsp of powdered non-dairy creamer (hazelnut) to create an alternative and very good tasting frosting.

My favorite buttercream frosting that I have been making for over 20 years. I was on the verge of panic because I couldn't find my copy to make for 1 Pan Fudge Cake. Thanks for putting it on Zaar so that I will never lose it again. This frosting tastes better the next day after being refrigerated.

Great frosting! I did add a bit more confectioner's sugar to thicken it. I used the directions for the lighter flavour (1/3C cocoa). Thanks.

Great frosting! I've made this for years. It used to be on Hershey's website, but it isn't out there now.
