Preparation

Step 1

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cocoa powder and salt. Add the milk, and stir and cook until it thickens and just begins to come to a boil. Pull the pan off the heat. Whisk in the sugar, which has been sifted, adding a little at a time, whisking until smooth. Add more milk if needed, but the frosting should be spreadable
.
2. Spread onto your cake or cupcakes. It will set and harden as it cools.
