CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Chocolate Buttercream Frosting image

The most delicious and simple Chocolate Buttercream Frosting recipe! This chocolate frosting pipes great also.

Provided by Melissa Diamond

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 sticks (339g) unsalted butter, softened (do not soften butter in the microwave)
8 cups powdered sugar (icing sugar in UK) (920g) more if needed. ** For cupcakes, I like to use 7c. (805g) for a softer frosting
1 cup (82g) unsweeteded cocoa (not Dutch processed, measure then sift
3/4 (180g) milk plus 2 Tablespoons or more if needed to reach the spreading consistency you like
2 teaspoons vanilla (12 grams)
1 teaspoon salt (6g) we like the finer grain of plain popcorn salt, to cut the sweetness

Steps:

  • Add butter and mix on low to medium speed until smooth. Add vanilla and blend into the butter. Add powdered sugar, salt, and cocoa powder.
  • Add most of the milk. Begin mixing at low speed so you won't have a cloud of powdered sugar in your kitchen.
  • Continue to mix adding remaining milk as needed. It may take 5 to 6 minutes to reach the smoothness and consistency you like. It will take longer if using a hand mixer. As you mix the frosting will become very smooth. You can add additional milk (1 Tablespoon at a time) if the frosting is too thick or additional powdered sugar if too soft.
