Otherwise, the frosting will have a grainy texture and appearance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> Salt balances the sweetness of the frosting and enhances the chocolate flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cocoa powder:<\/strong> To deepen the chocolate flavor in the icing, we add 1\/4 cup of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-cocoa-powder\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-cocoa-powder\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cocoa powder<\/a>.
