This chocolate cream frosting is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, or any dessert needing a delicious topping.
In a mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter until it becomes creamy and smooth.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder to the butter, mixing well after each addition.
Sift the sugar and cocoa powder to avoid lumps in the frosting.
Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to mix, adjusting the consistency as needed.
Add the milk in small increments to control the frosting's thickness.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
Spread the frosting over your cooled cake or dessert using a spatula.
Ensure the cake is completely cool to prevent the frosting from melting.
