Often times I get a sweet tooth and I have to find something to sooth it. I had cupcakes but no frosting, so what better way to sooth a sweet tooth, make cupcakes, and figure out how to make homemade frosting.
Off to the kitchen I went…
1 stick of butter
3/4 cup dark cocoa
1 1/2 cups powder sugar
4 tablespoons warm water
mix it all together and you have some yummy chocolate frosting.
My husband came in and tried it, said it tasted just like store bought, my cupcakes were happy to have a top on them, and my tummy was happy to have the sweets in it, that I really didn’t need.
Make some yummy home made dark chocolate frosting with no milk.
I always make my own vanilla buttercream but have yet to make a chocolate variety. My Dad’s 70th is coming up and his favorite cake is chocolate so I plan to make a multi-layer monster with homemade frosting. Can’t wait, its gonna be fantastic.
