Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup soft icing mixture
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 40 grams (1.4 ounces) unsalted butter
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Carefully sift cocoa powder and icing sugar into a medium bowl, ensuring a lump-free, silky texture.
- Add softened butter and milk to the dry ingredients, initiating mixing at a low speed to prevent sugar from scattering.
- Gradually increase mixer speed to medium, creating a smooth, cohesive mixture that transforms from powdery to creamy.
- Continue whipping for approximately two minutes until the icing reaches a spreadable consistency with a glossy appearance.
- If the icing seems too thick, incrementally introduce additional milk, beating until achieving the desired luxurious, velvety texture.
Notes
- Sift ingredients carefully to prevent lumpy icing, ensuring a silky smooth texture that spreads like a dream.
- Start mixing at low speed to avoid a sugar cloud explosion in your kitchen, gradually increasing speed for perfect consistency.
- Adjust milk quantity slightly for desired thickness – a few extra drops can transform stiff icing into a luxurious, glossy coating.
- Room temperature butter blends more easily, creating a creamier icing that’s easier to work with and spreads effortlessly on cakes or cupcakes.
