Fudgy Frosting


This is wonderful on our
Champion Chocolate Cake!


You'll Need:

3 Cups natural powdered sugar*

½ Cup natural cocoa powder

1/8  tsp. sea salt (1/4 tsp. if using unsalted butter)

6 Tbls. butter, softened OR non-dairy margarine

1 tsp. natural vanilla extract

1/3 Cup boiling water (may not use all the water, just to consistency)

In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine sugar, cocoa and salt.  Mix in butter until a bit crumbly.  Mix in vanilla.  Add the boiling water a little at a time while mixing, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.  Beat well until smooth.    

*Note:  If you are frosting a 2 layer cake, you may need to add more powdered sugar.
