Preparation

Step 1

Place the butter in a medium saucepan and melt over low heat, 2-3 minutes.

Stir in the cocoa powder and milk. Let the mixture come just to a boil, stirring, and then remove the pan from the heat.

Stir in the confectioner's sugar until the frosting is thickened and smooth. (If too thick, add a little more milk.)

Pour the warm frosting over the top of a cooled cake of your choice, spreading it with a spatula so that it reaches all sides of the cake. Work quickly because this frosting goes on best while still warm.

Make 4 cups, or enough to frost a 2- or 3- layer cake.
