Frosting Directions
- Beat butter in a medium mixing bowl on medium speed or until fluffy.
- Add dark cocoa powder and powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until blended.
- Test to see if frosting can make and hold a stiff peak by taking a spoonful of frosting and turning the spoon upside down. If the frosting holds to the spoon, then it is ready, if not, fold in more powdered sugar.
- Scoop the frosting into a pastry bag with a large star frosting tip. Twist the open end of the pastry bag to push the frosting to the tip.
- Begin frosting on the outside edge of the cupcake working inward to the center of the cupcake.
