Chocolate Icing For Cake. My friend asked me to make him a yellow cake with chocolate frosting for his birthday. Beat the icing sugar butter and cocoa powder together in freestanding electric mixer Or use a handheld electric whisk on mediumslow speed until the mixture comes together and is well mixed.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Turn the mixer down to a slower speed. Blend into butter mixture and add vanilla. Here I used Raspberry icing whose sharp tart flavour well complemented the dense chocolate flavour. Add butter to a large bowl and mix with milk vanilla and salt.
