The BEST Chocolate Buttercream
Mike doesn't like frosting - isn't that the most annoying thing ever? He's always telling me to only put a little bit on cakes and cupcakes. For those of us who have coveted the "corner" pieces of birthday cakes, this request is hard to comprehend (or obey). When I find an icing or frosting that Mike loves, I know I have struck gold - as I have with this chocolate buttercream. It is not too sweet, not too chocolately and gloriously creamy.
The Best Homemade
Chocolate Buttercream
1 cup of chocolate chips
1/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of cocoa powder
4 cups of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
12 tablespoons of butter, softened
In a small bowl, pour milk over chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir until melted. Repeat if necessary. Place melted chocolate in a bowl with cocoa and vanilla, mix. Add powdered sugar slowly.
Whip together for a couple of minutes until well combined.
Add butter in 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Whip for 2-3 more minutes.
Add more milk or powdered sugar to achieve desired consistency.
