Demonically Chocolate Cake (Part 3) - The Frosting

This is my take on my maternal Grandmother's chocolate frosting recipe. The measurements were guesses because she does everything from sight and taste and doesn't measure.

Grandmama Pittman's Chocolate Frosting

Ingredients

1 stick of butter, softened

1 lb. powdered sugar

¾ cup cocoa (I used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa)

½ cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. coffee liqueur

1 tsp. crème de cacao

Directions

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add cocoa and milk and beat until combined. If mixture is too thick, you can add more milk. Add vanilla and liqueurs. Will frost 2 9-inch layers.

Thoughts

The frosting came out perfectly and was far better than canned chocolate frosting. My grandmother's recipe includes prepared coffee as part of the liquid instead of all milk and she only uses the vanilla flavoring.
