Chocolate Frosting

Ingredients

2 cups butter (no substitutes), softened
9 cups confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 cups baking cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk

Directions
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter.
2. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, cocoa and vanilla.
3. Add enough milk until frosting reaches spreading consistency.  (You will probably need more milk, added gradually, than called out in the recipe).

Notes: Half of this recipe should be more than enough for most purposes.  1/4 of the recipe is enough for Mike's Chocolate Cake.
