Add cocoa to a large bowl or bowl of stand
mixer. Whisk through to remove any lumps.
Cream together butter and cocoa powder until
well-combined.
Add sugar and milk to cocoa mixture by adding
1 cup of sugar followed by about a tablespoon
of milk. After each addition has been
combined, turn mixer onto a high speed for
about a minute. Repeat until all sugar and
milk have been added.
Add vanilla extract and espresso powder and
combine well.
If frosting appears too dry, add more milk, a
tablespoon at a time until it reaches the
right consistency. If it appears to wet and
does not hold its form, add more
confectioner’s sugar, a tablespoon at a time
until it reaches the right consistency.
