Step 10Sugary chocolatey butter equals frosting!
Time to make the frosting since you have your three cakes. I doubled the frosting recipe for my three cakes, which gave the the correct amount of frosting. If you want a ridiculous amount of frosting then feel free to make more. Here is Hershey's recipe, which I have doubled here:
2 sticks (1 cup) butter or margarine
1 1/3 cups cocoa powder
6 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
The recipe calls for melted butter here. I just let my butter sit out for a day. Do what you wish. Add your cocoa to the butter and mix well. Start adding powdered sugar and milk, alternating between the two and mixing before adding more. When you're all done with the sugar and milk you can add more sugar if you want a stiffer frosting or more milk if you want a more spreadable frosting. I added a bit more milk to make sure I could spread the frosting on the cake without destroying it. Finally add your vanilla and mix it in.
