Wacky Cake Frosting

Name: Wacky Cake Frosting
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 1/3 cup butter; 1/4 cup whole milk; 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa; 2 3/4 cups powdered sugar, sifted; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Our Wacky Cake Frosting is a decadent, fudgy topping for any sheet cake, but it goes perfectly with our Wacky Cake recipe. This rich frosting is great topped with your favorite Southern nut, Pecans. You might even be reminded of a Texas Sheet Cake, but this frosting and the wacky cake it was developed for are much easier to make.
