How to Make
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
To make this scrumptious frosting, you’ll need a big blending bowl or a bowl for a stand mixer.
Add cocoa
to the bowl or bowl of stand mixer. Whisk through the cocoa nicely to remove any lumps. Then, add softened butter to the bowl with cocoa. Cream collectively the butter and cocoa powder till well-combined.
Next, alternately add sugar and milk to the
cocoa mixture by adding 1 cup of sugar followed through approximately a tablespoon of milk. After every addition has been combined, flip mixer onto a HIGH pace for approximately a minute. Repeat till all sugar and milk had been added.
This is
important – It makes the frosting into fluffy, scrumptious perfection!
Then add your vanilla extract
and coffee powder and combine nicely. If your frosting seems too dry, add more milk, only one tablespoon at a
time until it reaches the proper consistency. If it seems too moist and does not keep its form, add more confectioner’s sugar, simplest one tablespoon at a time till it reaches the proper consistency.
Frost your cake or cupcakes as preferred and enjoy!
