Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

In a separate bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
-
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the creamed butter.
-
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and cocoa mixture to the butter mixture.
-
Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while continuing to mix until the frosting reaches a light and airy texture.
-
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for an additional 2-3 minutes until fluffy and holding stiff peaks.
-
If the frosting is too thick, add more heavy cream a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached; if too runny, add more powdered sugar gradually.

Use a spatula or piping bag to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts.
-
Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before reuse, bring to room temperature and whip briefly to restore fluffiness.
