Appearance-wise, if you choose a really dark cocoa powder, like Hershey\u2019s Special Dark, the frosting will be much darker than a regular cocoa powder. The best cocoa powder to use entirely depends on your preference and to whom you are serving your baked goods.<\/li><li><strong>Salt<\/strong> &#8211; A touch of salt goes so well with the chocolate flavor.<\/li><li><strong>Vanilla extract<\/strong> &#8211; You might find it odd to have vanilla in chocolate frosting, but the vanilla actually enhances the chocolate flavor.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-it-s-made\">How It&#8217;s Made<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that all of your ingredients are at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by beating the butter for three full minutes with an electric mixer on high speed.

<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This lasts for up to a week at room temperature or for months in the freezer. Always store it in an airtight container.<br\/><br\/>If you&#8217;ve frozen it and are ready to use it, first bring it to room temperature and then mix it again for a minute or two before you start piping.<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1608734642125\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How can I enhance the chocolate flavor?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Experiment with adding 1\/2 teaspoon of espresso powder to the frosting. Don&#8217;t use more since the goal is to use the little bit of coffee to intensify the chocolate flavor. You may not even taste the coffee.<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1608734703686\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make this frosting stiffer?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes; add more powdered sugar (confectioners&#8217; sugar) as needed before mixing in the cocoa powder.<\/p>
