Frosting
- In a medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and butter with a mixer on low speed.
- Stir in vanilla and 1 tablespoon of milk.

- If frosting is too thin, gradually add small amounts of powdered sugar until thickened.
Christina's Notes
- Pan Trick: Use shiny cake pans if you have them, dark pans can dry out the cake. You can also line your cake pans with parchment paper.
- Enhance the Flavor: Add cayenne pepper or espresso powder or brewed coffee for a unique flavor added into the batter.
- Chocolate Surprise: Try upping the chocolate! Add more chocolate to the cake with dark, milk, white or semi sweet chocolate to add extra moisture and rich chocolate flavor.
- Frosting Variations: Try this cake with a cream cheese frosting, peanut butter frosting, marshmallow frosting, white chocolate frosting or chocolate fudge frosting.
- Frosting Consistency: If frosting is too thick, add more milk a little at a time. If frosting is too thin, add small amounts of powdered sugar until thickened.
