Chocolate Cake Frosting Recipe

This is a good all-purpose recipe for chocolate frosting. I use it when making Mayan Chocolate Cake, but it works well with any type of basic cake or cup cake recipe.

Recommended Equipment:
stand mixer

Ingredients:
6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 3/4 cup confectioners sugar
6 tbsp butter, at room temperature
1 tspn vanilla extract
5 tbsp evaporated milk
1/2 tbsp Kahlua (optional)

Preparation:

1. In a bowl, mix together the cocoa and the confectioners sugar and set aside.
2. Using the mixer, cream the butter until smooth.
3. Alternate adding the sugar and the evaporated milk to the creamed butter running the mixer on low.
4. Mix in the vanilla extract.
   
5. Adjust the consistency by adding additional sugar or milk (if necessary).
