CHOCOLATE FROSTING

CHOCOLATE FROSTING

  • 1 pkg. powdered sugar
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 1/3 c. very soft butter or margarine
  • 1/3 c. milk (I use a little hot coffee and reduce milk)

  • 1/3 c. cocoa

Combine all ingredients and beat I minute with electric mixer or 2 to 4 minutes by hand with heavy spoon. Makes 1 3/4 cups or enough for an 8″ layer cake.
