This chocolate frosting perfectly pairs with any type of cupcake or cake! The rich chocolate flavor compliments whatever it is served with, and this is clearly the best chocolate frosting recipe to use.
Ingredients:
Makes enough for 12 cupcakes
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3 Tbsp heavy cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Whip the butter in a large bowl with a hand mixer until creamy. Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, whipping after each addition. Pour in the cocoa powder and stir to combine. Mixture should be very thick. Add the cream and vanilla and whip until smooth.
Note: If the resulting mixture is too thick, add more cream, and if it is too loose, add more powdered sugar. Make sure the butter is not softened too much, or the frosting will be too watery.
