Ingredients

2 cups butter (no substitutes), softened

9 cups confectioners’ sugar (I buy an organic kind and yes there is a big difference in flavor)

2 1/2 cups baking cocoa

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup milk

Preparation

  1. In a large mixing bowl cream softened butter on low/med speed

  2. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar, cocoa and vanilla, letting each addition blend before adding the next portion

  3. For frosting to reach spreading consistency add milk, also a little at a time, as needed
