For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Sifting the cocoa powder and powdered sugar is crucial for a smooth, lump-free frosting. If the frosting becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency. This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.

05
Step
1 mins
Blend in the vanilla extract (30 seconds).
06
Step
2 mins
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the frosting reaches your desired consistency (1-2 minutes). For a thicker frosting, use less milk; for a thinner frosting, add a little more.
