Easy Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting

Hi all,

This is one of my favorite frosting. My mom used to make it. There's no cooking, but some might be turned off by the confectioner's sugar taste. I think it's quite yummy. This recipe is ample for frosting the Easy Yellow Cake.

4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar (approximate)
1/3 cup cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3-6 tablespoons milk or half-and-half

Put the above ingredients in a mixer or you can also do this by hand. Start with the smallest amount of dairy and add more to get the consistency you want for spreading. Keep mixing until smooth and creamy.

I think when I was a kid and my mom made this frosting. I was given the spatula to lick but I bit the rubber spatula. There were teeth marks and all. I guess I thought it was pretty delicious.

Hope this works out for you. Remember don't bite the spatula.

Hugs,
Mameekosan
