Light and fluffy chocolate frosting, suggested by my friend Linda. Spread over any cake and smooth out bubbles.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1.5 cups unsalted butter , softened
  • 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine powdered sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt; mix for 30 seconds. Add cream 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix on medium speed until frosting is shiny and seems to have large bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes more.
