Creamy Chocolate Frosting(Makes Your Cupcakes Look Store Bought) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 c. butter
3/4 c. cocoa
1/2 c. milk
1/4 tsp. salt
2 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
6 3/4 c. confectioners sugar, sifted

Preparation

Combine butter, cocoa and milk in a small saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly until butter melts.
Remove from heat and add salt and vanilla.
Gradually add powdered sugar a cup at a time, beating at high speed on an electric mixer until thick enough to spread, adding additional milk if necessary.
I use this for my cupcakes because you can swirl them and they look perfect. If it starts getting a little hard to swirl, heat on low heat.
