Making chocolate frosting has always been an issue for me. It seems nomatter how hard I try it never came out as good as the store bought kind. That it until today. I was making brownies and my daughter asked if I could frost them. I was hesitant to make from scratch but decided to randomly choose a recipe from my collection and go for it. The recipe turned out awesome and the consistency was exactly like what you'd get from a store. The only thing I did different from the recipe was instead of using just softened butter I used warm almost to the point of melted butter.
Chocolate Frosting
--------------------------
3 Tbsp Soft/Warmed Butter
3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 Tbsp Honey
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
Start by warming up the butter but not letting it melt. Add it into a bowl with the cocoa powder, honey and vanilla. Then add in the powdered sugar and stir until incorporated and the frosting is smooth without lumps. Frosts an 8 inch pan worth of Cake or Brownies.
