Ingredients

  • 125g salted butter NOT MARGARINE! (preferably left at room temperature overnight / few hours)

  • 25g Cocoa powder (we prefer bournville cocoa powder)

Method

  1. Say Bismillah.
  2. Beat butter till light & creamy. This may take a while. (we recommend using a stand mixer so your arms do not get tired).
  3. Gradually add in icing sugar, mix on high speed till fluffy and light in colour. (Add no more than a tbsp of milk if you find it is difficult to beat)
