Ingredients
- For the frosting:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Add the butter, buttermilk, and cocoa powder to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking until smooth, and then remove from the heat. Transfer to a stand mixer (or large bowl) and add in the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Beat the mixture until fluffy and thick. **You might need less or more sugar, depending. Start with 2 cups, and add more if the frosting looks too thin. Also, if it isn't getting fluffy, try refrigerating the frosting for 20 minutes, and then beating it again.**
