Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners’ sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Beat butter and 1/4 cup cocoa powder together in a bowl with an electric mixer on low until light and fluffy. Gradually add milk, remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Margarine can be substituted for butter if desired.
- For a more dark chocolaty taste, or to counteract the sometimes prevalent taste of confectioner’s sugar, add more cocoa powder.

Reviews
I have been using this recipes from y’all since I started learning to be a chef… it’s so smooth and rich and pipes nicely… thank you !!!
I love this recipe! My family loves the frosting and say it’s the best they’ve ever tasted! Goodbye to canned frosting for good!! ❤
Fabulous chocolate icing. The best.
Easy and tasted great
super easy and delicious
This was an okay buttercream. Simple enough but not specific enough. I would tweak the recipe next time.
Added 10 oz confectioners’ sugar and it was easy to spread, creamy, but not as tooth achingly sweet.
I love this icing. It turns out perfect every time. Extremely easy.
We ended up using a lot less powered sugar and it was awesome. Misifn
Very easy, mighty quick and super delicious!
Very good icing. I only used about 1/2 of the confectioner’s sugar. Good spreading consistency and not too sweet.
This recipe is very easy and delicious. Not hardly enough to cover two layers though.
Tastes like grandmas
It was delicious!!
This. Frosting. Is. The. BOMB!
no changes and yes will use again
Definitely need to double recipe but absolutely delicious! So light and fluffy!
We used this frosting on top of a yellow cake and it was amazing! I would definitely recommend putting a little bit of salt to the frosting and letting it sit for a little bit before you frost a cake.
It was a hit! I’m making it again this week!
Lovely deep cocoa flavor! My teenage son decided to bake his 1st cake & made this to go on top. Super yummy! I had him add a teeny pinch of salt, which I think helps the overall flavor. We’ll make this on again!
It was much more buttery than I’m used to, but it was pretty good – my mom liked it the most, though, haha. If I make it again in the future, I would use less butter, but that’s just my personal taste. Overall, a brilliant recipe!
