Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Here's a fantastic, homemade chocolate frosting! This makes about 2 cups of frosting; just enough for a sheet cake. If you want more {and you know you will} just double the recipe. Then you'll have plenty for a two layer, 9" round cake.

6 Tbs butter, softened
2 ⅔ c powdered sugar
1/2 c Hershey's cocoa
1/3 c milk
1 tsp vanilla extract


Beat butter in mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar and cocoa alternately with milk. Beat to a smooth, spreading consistency. Mix in vanilla. If your frosting seems a little loose {because you have a warm kitchen and hey, you're working with real butter here}, just pop it into the 'fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm it up a bit. Then frost away!!
