My grandmother gave me this recipe maybe 40 years ago and it is a staple. Foe really good chocolate frosting that is simple and you can easily tweak the flavor by halving the amount of milk and adding vanilla, rum, coffee, Grand Mariner, or Kahlua. Have fun with it. It is an easy, quick recipe just remember to let the butter set out. Sometimes for smoother frosting I do sift the powdered sugar and baking cocoa to make a better presentation.
