Does anyone have the cocoa icing recipe from the Betty Crocker Boys and Girls Cookbook?

I know it had sifted flour, confectioners sugar, butter, milk and Hershey's cocoa.Does anyone have the cocoa icing recipe from the Betty Crocker Boys and Girls Cookbook?
In case you can't find that specific recipe, this one is great, too.








Chocolate Buttercream Frosting





1/2 cup butter, softened


2/3 cup cocoa powder


2 teaspoon vanilla


3 cups confectioners' sugar


6-8 tablespoons water, depending upon thickness you want





With electric mixer on high, beat butter until fluffy. Beat in cocoa powder and vanilla on low. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, alternating with water, until desired thickness is achieved. For thinner frosting use more water. For thicker frosting, use less water.
