Ingredients | Chocolate Buttercream Icing Recipe Taste

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

Directions

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.

For a more dark-chocolaty taste or to counteract the sometimes prevalent taste of confectioner's sugar, add more cocoa powder.

Margarine can be substituted for butter if desired.
