1 cup butter (no substitutions), softened
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/4 cups cocoa powder (I prefer Hershey's)
1/2 cup milk
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter & vanilla. Sift powdered sugar and cocoa powder together. Gradually beat in powdered sugar & cocoa to the creamed butter. Add enough milk until frosting reaches spreading consistency. Don't add the milk before you get all the powdered sugar and cocoa in the mix...it will make the frosting runny. I frosted a 9 inch- 2 layer cake in the middle and the outside and there was some to spare. This is so good!
