Ingredients

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate (or 2/3 cup cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons oil*)
1 cup butter, softened ((2 sticks))
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons milk
4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

Melt chocolate in a 2-cup measure or small bowl until smooth (or simply whisk cocoa powder and oil until combined, if using).
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter with the vanilla and chocolate mixture with the whisk attachment.
Add the powdered sugar and milk and whisk for about a minute, scraping sides as needed to make sure all the ingredients are mixed together.
Set the speed to the highest and whisk for 2-4 minutes - until the frosting is light and fluffy and turns a lighter in color (this incorporates air and sets it apart from regular frostings).

SILKY CHOCOLATE BUTTER FROSTING

Once I tried this type of frosting, I have never gone back to the butter-cream type made with powdered sugar. This is just as creamy and fluffy, but not as gaggy sweet. Sweet enough without overpowering the cake. Prep times includs 15 minutes for cooling (may take longer depending on air temp).
