Ingredients

powdered sugar (sifted) 300 g

unsalted butter (softened at room temperature) 100 g

cocoa powder (sifted) 40 g

whole milk 40 ml

Instructions

Mix the dry ingredients

Place the powdered sugar, butter, and cocoa powder in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or use a handheld electric mixer). Beat on medium-low speed until the ingredients are evenly combined.

Add the milk

Switch the mixer to low speed. Add two to three tablespoons of milk to the butter mixture at a time.

Whip the frosting

Once all the milk has been added, switch the mixer to high speed. Continue whipping until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. The longer you whip it, the fluffier and lighter the frosting will be.
