Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
  • 6 tbsp milk
  • 6 tbsp cocoa (sifted, if lumpy)
  • 1 dash salt
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar (1 lb box, sifted if lumpy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla (or hazelnut extract)
  • 1 1/4 cups pecans (optional, toasted in a dry hot iron skillet, then chopped)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (optional ' omit pecans)

Directions:

  1. In a hot dry iron skillet, TOAST pecans, stirring constantly until very fragrant ~ be careful not to burn! Chop pecans and set aside ~.
  2. In saucepan, combine butter, milk cocoa, OPTIONAL coffee granules, and dash of salt. Bring just to a boil, and stir until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and quickly add confectioners sugar ~ beating well.
  4. Add vanilla (or hazelnut extract) and TOASTED pecans, chopped (or hazelnut spread).
  5. Quickly spread on cake while frosting is still warm, or thin with 1 tablespoon milk if frosting begins to stiffen too quickly, or for spreading on a layer cake!
  6. NOTE: Make HAZELNUT COFFEE FROSTING by adding 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules to melted butter/cocoa mixture, hazelnut extract, and substituting 1/2 cup hazelnut spread for the chopped pecans. Thin with 1 tablespoon milk, if necessary for easier spreading!
