Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

 

1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)

1/2 cup Hershey’s cocoa

1-1/2  cups powdered sugar

Soften the butter in the microwave 10 seconds on defrost mode. Don’t let it melt. Blend butter, cocoa and powdered sugar with a mixer until it forms a pebbly texture.

 

2 tsp vanilla

2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup whipping cream

  

Add the vanilla and half of the cream. Blend well. Alternate adding powdered sugar and cream until all of the sugar is mixed in. Keep it on the dry side. If it gets shiny, add a little more powdered sugar.

   

 

 

Check the consistency for spreading. If it is too soft, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar and beat well. If it is too stiff, add a teaspoon of cream and beat well.
