Chocolate Buttercream Recipe

[@mahdeealoo69]

Bakers secret: Any chocolate anything will get a chocolate flavor boost from the smallest pinch of cinnamon. Just a teensy pinch will bring out more of the flavor. I learned this from my mother, who worked with a pastry chef when she was young. And I was a pastry chef for about 3 years and anything chocolate I made always had the tiniest pinch of cinnamon in it. You will not ever be able to detect it's flavor. Bon Appetit!

[@recipesbycarina]

I must try that! I always add vanilla as that too will help the chocolate flavour 😊

[@julieankhan.2801]

Mahdee Aloo - and a pinch of salt. Cinnamon sounds great. Must try.

[@aidanmerideth4101]

Another things that works even better is instant coffee or coffee extract

[@PRMorena177]

Coffee enhances chocolate flavor also

[@Sexyboricuamejicana]

Thank you for the tips

[@lisajones2430]

I’m 59 years old and never made my own icing till this past weekend. I made a chocolate box cake and didn’t have a can of frosting in the house, so I figured I would try making some. I used your vanilla butter cream recipe and OMG, it was easy but was delicious! My family said that this was the best cake I ever made. Next time I’ll try the chocolate Butter cream. Thanks again.

[@zunairajawad8779]

I tried this it was sooo good. For me 5 cups of sugar did seem like a little too much so I did 3 and it was perfect so if you don’t want too too much I recommend 3 and it was still nice and sweet. I recommend this recipe :)

[@consumerdebtchitchat]

Thank you.

[@miamigurltangie0602]

I agree I only use 3 cups 😊

I did 3 too it was great! I don’t like super sweet buttercream

Hello! I’m 13 years old and I love to cook and bake, recently I got a 9 inch cake pan and an electric mixer.

“It’s impossible to cream butter by hand”. Me: well, at least we are in quarantine-

[@billiam7546]

yeah no its not impossible to mix by hand nor dose it take forever it takes like what 5 minutse of mixing. Honestly i think they rely on the eletic mixer too mutch p.s its way better when you mix by hand, with the eletric mixer it will over mix it. Not that im saying dont use the mixer go ahead, i just think she is over stating the truth. But hey im no chef i could be completly wrong here.

[@createvision8109]

[@Appaddict01]

GreenBandit ,7895 Disagree the powered sugar dissolves better with a mixer. Most people use the paddle attachment so you don’t incorporate too much air.

its been a year- did u reach the fluffy butter stage yet?

Baking tip if you only have granulated sugar: put the sugar in a blender and for every cup add a teaspoon of corn starch and it makes powdered sugar, I've been using it for a while and it's the best

[@momof2momof2]

For me, whipping it at high speed and adding a pinch of salt makes all the difference in making buttercream :) The latest buttercream I've seen does not use powdered sugar, but it does use sweetened condensed milk! I haven't tried it yet, but am looking forward to making it :)

[@peppercat8718]

Yes, when I used sweetened condensed milk, I got so many compliments. It is very yummy too :)

[@robertgoh7420]

I always use salted butter in buttercream as I find it evens the taste (cuts some of the extra sweetness out) and I like to taste the butter.

[@camellyabrown5216]

Beautiful recipe🤗You mentioned salted or unsalted butter...I've tried both as well! I have to use more powered sugar when I use salted butter, So I can balance the salt in the butter! When I use unsalted butter, I use less sugar and I add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness...each of it's own. They both work! Also those who may need this frosting to hold up in warmer temperatures...You want to definitely add criso shortening! About 5 tablespoons to every stick of butter! I promise you the frosting will not slide! However you may need to add more milk so you can have a spreadable consistency! Just wanted to share my experience as a baker!

Excellent recipe with perfect directions. This isn’t quick frosting if you want the smooth light quality of buttercream. If you want it whipped use the whisk tool. I used the batter attachment for a more dense buttercream. It’s just a personal preference.
