CHOCOLATE FROSTING

This has been my go to , chocolate frosting. Found this on the back of the hershey's cocoa powder tin.



RECIPE

1. Butter - 1/2 cup(1 stick)
2. Unsweetened cocoa powder - 2/3 cup
3. Powderered sugar - 3 cup
4. Boiling water - 1/3 cup +2 tbsp.
5. salt - 1/4 tsp plus more as per taste

Method

• Melt the butter . Microwave the butter for 2 minutes at power 2. It won't be completely melted but that's OK.
  

  

  
  
  

  
• Beat the butter along with the salt using a cake beater, until soft.



• Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and water, beating to spreading consistency.
  

  

  
  
  

  

  
  
  

  
• Scrape the sides of the bowl.

         

•   About two cups of frosting.
• Cover and keep until ready to use.
  

  

Notes

• The recipe calls for vanilla essence but I don't use vanilla essence if the cake or frosting call for 1/4 cup or more of cocoa powder.
• The frosting can be kept outside for upto 4 days.
