Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and half of the powdered sugar; mix on low speed until combined.
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, and remaining powdered sugar. Beat on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- If the frosting is too thick, add more milk a teaspoon at a time. If too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- Spread or pipe the frosting onto cooled cake or cupcakes.
- Immediately top with sprinkles before the frosting sets.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, use melted dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder (reduce milk slightly).
- Store frosted items in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
