I found another beautiful black cake I want to eat. So I started looking into how I might be able to recreate this at home. Here’s my easy recipe for black icing:

• 1/2 a cup of unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 tube of black gel food coloring

• 1 can of vanilla flavor Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy Frosting

Start by mixing just 1 tsp. of the food coloring gel into the frosting. Then add about 1/2 a cup of the cocoa powder. Stir everything up and check your color. It’s probably more of a dark gray than black. Keep adding food coloring 1 tsp. at a time until you get your desired shade.

Happy frosting!
