- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature (113 grams)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (42 grams)
- 4 cups powdered sugar (454 grams)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (118.29 ml)
- pinch of salt
Beat the butter in a stand mixer or a large bowl with a handheld mixer.
1/2 cup unsalted butter
Add in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Slowly add in the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Then add in the heavy cream. Finally, add a pinch of salt. (Note that the frosting will seem really crumbly until you add in the heavy cream and then the frosting will pull together perfectly.)

Use right away, or store in an airtight container until you are ready to use.
