For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder. Sifting the confectioners' sugar prevents lumps in the frosting. If you don't have boiling water, very hot tap water will work in a pinch. For a mocha flavor, add 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder along with the cocoa. Beat the butter longer for a fluffier texture. Scrape down the bowl throughout the process to ensure even mixing.
