Sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, followed by the milk, vanilla, and salt. Mix on low until mostly incorporated then increase to medium speed and mix until the frosting is fully combined and fluffy.
Scrape the bowl again then mix until the frosting is smooth. Use the frosting to top cupcakes, fill and frost cakes, and slather on cookies!
