Step 1
To make the frosting, melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave using a microwave-safe dish. Then, stir in the cocoa powder, and this mixture will form a thick paste.
Step 2
Then, transfer the chocolate mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl, and using a mixer on low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.
Step 3
After that, once the ingredients are fully incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for about 5 minutes, or until the frosting becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Finally, spread the smooth and creamy frosting on top of the cooled cake.
Tips:
– Sift flour and cocoa for a smoother texture.
– Grease the pan and use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
– Ensure the cake is fully cool before adding the frosting.
Variations:
– -Replace water with brewed coffee.
