Chocolate Buttercream Frosting Recipe
September 17, 2014
This Chocolate Buttercream frosting is what dreams are made of, I’m telling you. Fluffy, creamy, smooth, rich, indulgent, chocolaty, head-tilting good. The melt-in-your-mouth sensation screams pure love.
It might turn out pale, but it doesn’t make it less chocolaty. The pale color might be just because of all the whipping of the butter. The rich chocolate flavor may take you by surprise. Take my word for it.
The cocoa and powdered sugar measurements can be varied at your own discretion. One creates a richer chocolate frosting than the other so just opt for whichever tweaks your fancy.
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Dissolve cocoa with hot water. Beat sugar with cocoa mixture. Add yolks and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Place in bowl of ice and water. Add butter, in four additions, beating until frosting is lighter in color and thick enough to spread. Frost cake. Refrigerate to set. |
Dig in! 🙂
