Chocolate Frosting

I have a love/hate relationship with dishes.
I love, love, love when they are clean.
I hate, hate, hate to clean them.

Seriously hate to do dishes. I would rather scrub toilets.

In an effort to minimize my dishes after making this, I had the grand idea of just mixing my sugar and cocoa and not sifting it.

Don't be like me.

I got it all in a bowl and started stirring. There were little balls-o-ingredient in the mixture. Not the fine mixture I should be using.
So, I cave, I grab the sifter.

In trying to get everything from the bowl to the sifter I made a mess like you only read about. My counter, my nearby appliances, my shirt....covered.

I repeat, don't be like me.
Just do it right to begin with. I tried to outsmart the system and made a bigger mess for myself.

Ingredients:
3 Cups confectioners’ sugar
¾ Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 stick butter (softened)
3-4 Tbsp heavy cream
1 Tsp vanilla


Directions:
1. Sift sugar and cocoa together into a large bowl
2. In another bowl, combine 1 cup sugar mix, butter, and 1 tbsp cream
3. Beat until smooth
4. Add another cup of sugar and tbsp cream
5. Beat until smooth
6. Repeat until all ingredients are used

7. Add vanilla and beat until fluffy

  5. I recently started sharing recipes on The Jenny Evolution and thought it would be terrific to have a group on FB where we can share our recipes not just with other bloggers but with people who are searching out recipes. That said, I’m launching a Food Blogger group! If we work together we can make this a great outlet for all of us. If you’d like to join, visit me here https://www.facebook.com/groups/341455112700743/

    To be approved post to the group, please follow the directions in the group description. Look forward to seeing you there!
