Quick and Easy Homemade Chocolate Frosting Recipe
Last week I published my great auntie’s recipe for a homemade Chocolate Devils Food Cake and this week I thought I would follow up that post with her recipe for homemade chocolate frosting.
What I love about this recipe is that its very simple to make and whips up quickly with ingredients you most likely have on-hand.

This recipe will make enough frosting for one cake or you can double the ingredients for enough frosting to do a double layer round cake or extra large sheet cake. If you like a lot of frosting (a thick layer) then I would recommend triple ingredients! This is one of those good old-fashioned recipes from the 1960’s that our moms and grandmother’s used to make.
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 to 4 tablespoons milk
- In a large saucepan over medium to medium-high heat combine all of the above ingredients. You will want to stir it constantly to keep it from scorching. Once it begins to boil, boil for exactly one minute. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes before using it.
