📝 Preparation Steps
1
Allow the butter to come to room temperature or slightly firmer. For quick results, you can microwave the butter for ⏱️ 10-12 seconds.
2
Beat the butter on medium speed until the butter is lighter in color and fluffy, scraping down the bowl occasionally.
3
Sift the cocoa powder through a fine sieve. Slowly add the cocoa powder and beat it into the butter.
4
Add the vanilla extract and continuing beating until it’s incorporated.
5
Next, add the powered sugar one cup at a time, beating on medium-low speed until incorporated.
6
As the frosting starts to thicken, add the heavy whipping cream and increase the mixing speed to medium-high. Continuing beating for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes; this will help the frosting to be smoother and creamier.
