Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat together room temperature butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

To the bowl add heavy cream, molasses, and vanilla extract. Beat on low until ingredients are combined.

Step 3

Increase speed to medium and beat for 5 full minutes, scraping down bowl occasionally. The frosting should be very fluffy, like a bowl of whipped cream. Use to frost a layer cake or 24 cupcakes. Makes 4 cups.
