For an even richer flavor, try using dark cocoa powder. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is essential for a smooth, lump-free frosting. If you don't have an electric mixer, you can make this frosting by hand, but it will require more elbow grease! For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk.
