Notes
This recipe will frost a 9-inch (2 layer cake) or a 9x13 cake (with left overs to spare). For 24 cupcakes or a single 8 or 9-inch square cake, halve the recipe.
If the frosting is a little sweet for your palate, add a pinch of table salt to help take the edge off the sweet. The salt will not make it salty, just balance the sweetness.
If your powdered sugar or cocoa are lumpy, give them a stir with a fork to break up the lumps before adding to the mixer, this will result in a smoother frosting.
