For an extra touch of richness, try using Dutch-processed cocoa powder. If you prefer a less sweet frosting, reduce the amount of confectioners' sugar. The frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature before using. For a smoother frosting, sift the confectioners' sugar before adding it to the bowl.
