Game changing BLACK BUTTERCREAM that WON'T STAIN and tastes incredible!

RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/black-bu...
This black buttercream not only tastes incredible, but pipes beautifully AND it won’t stain! This recipe uses a somewhat unorthodox method of making buttercream, but it truly works amazingly!
The secret ingredient in this recipe is black cocoa, but I also use melted chocolate along with confectioners sugar to create a well balanced buttercream that isn't too bitter because of the black cocoa or too sweet because of the icing sugar!

[@kimlee3163]

Thank you for sharing❤ so many bakers are charging for this black buttercream recipe 😅

[@andrianaivana9429]

Hello! I am loving this technique and wanting to try but just curious if you can tell me what size of cake would this cover? I am thinking of doing a 3 layer 6 inch cake. Thank you! Love your vids! 🙌🩵

[@rona5557]

Thanks for uploading this video,I'm definitely going to give it a try soon.😊 I tried a slightly different recipe recently but it was way too sweet for my liking so I hope yours will taste better.😊 And the colour looks perfect,exactly what you need for some spooky Cupcakes.🎃👻🧙🏿‍♀️😉

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi Jay! :) Yeah it sounds like perhaps you left the paste to cool for too long. You just want to let it cool till it's no longer hot to the touch. Hope it all came together well in the end :)

[@lenapawlek7295]

Very cool! It looks like it wouldnt be to food coloring tasting that way!

[@Dzamila100]

Hi, could you tell us which cake would be the best for this black buttercream and if it will also fit if the filling is Swiss meringue buttercream? Thank you

[@kellysouvanna7473]

Hi, I love your videos! Could you tell me how does it not stain compared to other times? I wish to do back wipped cream to pipe on cakes and wanted a technique so the cream doesn't stain when designing, thank you!

[@farzanamunir874]

I will try this in shaa Allah. Looks soo black soo good 😅

[@melissamphande4323]

Can I use heavy whipping cream instead of milk? Would that make the frosting fluffier?

[@nodoby]

hello my love just wondering can this be stored in the fridge? and for how long? ❤

[@user-wl7tg9yu3x]

After heating the milk do we let it cool down first before we pour it in the icing sugar and black cocoa powder?

[@Twizted973]

Can I do this with a sugar alternate and sugar free chocolate?

[@pclem4686]

Ooh black buttercream wow just like an oreo

[@neliaphiri1078]

Woww awesome Black …preferably where can I use this

[@CakesbyMK]

Thank you! The only time I would really use black buttercream is if I needed the black colour say for a special cake request :)

[@Dianarodriguez-jo1qo]

I love you video..

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

I appreciate this recipe.. i love sugarlogies channel, but in order to make her version calls for a special thermometer, and checking it several times for this and that and freezing your butter.. blah blah blah.. I knew there was an easier way to do this which is why I ordered the black cacao powder the other day and I should be getting it soon but I thought why do we have to go through all this can I just pour it in with some powdered sugar and pour some milk over it like it can’t be that this is difficult and why do you know it here you are confirming exactly what I thought you could do so thanks for posting this and confirming how to make this!

[@emerge4]

Her's is more professional grade.. not sure if this would hold up as long..

[@soundstructuremedia]

I LIKE THE WAY YOU SAY ....THICK BLACK......

[@adamwinters448]

Oh ty ty ty mk

Is the taste look like Swiss buttercream?

[@jansanchez1710]

[@vanessam853]

Hey where do you get the black cocoa powder 😭😭

[@Adam-lg7fh]

Hy, next month I've planned to make my sister a black velvet cake, but my family doesn't really like buttercream, but doesn't really like whipped cream either as if it was too light 😅, so I always ended up cover my cake with diplomat cream instead, but this time I think I wanna cover the cake with black whippedcream frosting, is there any recipe you have for this?, or any suggestion?, somebody help! 🤣

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! Unfortunately I don't have a black whipped cream recipe yet but will keep it in mind for future videos :)

[@leenaislam4908]

Mk i m new to your channel and loving ur videos. I also use black coco and it works well. But i m sure ur recipe will be better. But can u make a video for black frosting for vanilla buttercream instead of chocolate. Thanks in advance.

[@CakesbyMK]

Thanks Leena! :) Yess vanilla black buttercream is still something I am trying to figure out without having to add so much black gel colour! Once I have a solution I will definitely share it :)

[@FhtGunveer]

Hi Thank you so much for the video. Please let me know for how many days we can store this black buttercream. In fridge or outside fridge. After applying black buttercream on cake do we need to keep cake in fridge or outside. And life of cake please. Thank you

[@m.wilson1652]

Great question!!

Could you please host classes in NZ ? Would love to learn this

Assalamualaikum. Hi~ just a thought since black cocoa isn't readily available where I live, could I maybe use Oreo cookies (with the cream removed) instead?

[@dkk9339]

Great idea 💡 😊

[@szcsili]

the powdered sugar remains granular. What do I do wrong? thx :)

[@asugarholicslife]

I did a truth bomb video on this exact thing, it tastes disgusting lol. But you've solved it and I can't wait to try it out!!

[@MannoulaElLeithy]

But if I cannot find black Coco in my country .. 🤷🤷 it's just so frustrating.. knowing the solution and still quite can't get my hands on it 😥

[@astrid6496]

We supposedly have black cocoa powder where I live, but it is nowhere near as black as what she has there 😔

[@MannoulaElLeithy]

@@astrid6496 that's the dark Dutch Coco powder I guess .. wish it could work with the addition of dark chocolate

[@CakesbyMK]

Ahh yes black cocoa can be hard to get your hands on. I buy mine online, you can buy it off Amazon too if that's available in your country :)

[@m.wilson1652]

Which brand of black cocoa powder do you use?

[@keikomagazinetv9033]

Amazon for the win! 🎉

[@helenaustin6590]

How much of each ingredients please

[@Anar-hk5rv]

The chocolate is hardening too fast when making a cake. Whar should I do

[@cometandstar]

Salam! Does this hold well in hot weather? First time making any butter cream

[@jashk6401]

I live in a very humid country, so mine didn’t hold up too well for a long period of time. I would suggest adding more icing sugar for a more stable buttercream. :)

[@moniquemonet982]

If you need to rewhip it after chilling to firm up, will it lose the very black shade?

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi Monique! Nope as long as you don't overwhip it it'll be fine :). The frosting shouldn't be hard as we are only chilling it for a short time so the extra whipping is just to get rid of any air bubbles that may have formed :)

[@LavenderJohnson-is1qv]

@@CakesbyMKI found that this frosting is very delicious, but melts when sitting out even after being refrigerated and re whipped which is horrible for decorating what is the cause of this?

[@GodMother.]

How would l make black butter cream without chocolate. A person l know is allergic to cocoa

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi Chrissi! Hmmm vanilla black buttercream is pretty hard to achieve without adding a whole lot of black gel colour. You can try the microwave method where you colour the buttercream and then heat up a portion or all of it and then remix it. This helps deepen the colour without adding a lot of gel colour :)

[@zoebeauteful344]

Where does one get black cocoa powder?

[@CakesbyMK]

It can be hard finding it at supermarkets! I buy mine online you can buy it off amazon too :)

[@zoebeauteful344]

@@CakesbyMK is there a brand you prefer?

[@EgshiglenBatjargal]

Unsalted butter?

[@brandyharris8729]

Okay so every single black buttercream recipe has black cocoa in it that's fantastic if you want to eat chocolate buttercream what if you don't want chocolate what if you want vanilla. So how do we make black buttercream that won't stain your teeth without chocolate or black cocoa powder.

[@mahwishimtiaz9593]

Where are the quantities???

[@janethlopez4318]

I tried it but idk what I did wrong it was too soft. I left it hours and hours in the fridge and it never hardened 😢 so sad

Did you use a good enough quality chocolate?

Same thing happened to me and it was supposed to be a cake for my sons birthday 😓 have to get a store bought cake instead

How is your health

It's getting better thanks Faiza! :D

[@mitziew4367]

Vanilla buttercream is so hard to get black

[@CakesbyMK]

Totally agree! Unless you use a whole lot of gel colour which sucks :(

[@sarahshardy]

If it's swiss meringue buttercream, try blending with an immersion blender for a darker color. Unfortunately, this trick does not work as well with American buttercream.

[@LavenderJohnson-is1qv]

This buttercream is delicious, but it doesn’t keep its structure and melts which is a mess especially for decorating. This happens even after being refrigerated for long periods of time??????

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there :) Oh no so sorry to hear it didn't quite work out for you! Hmmm so it should be stable and pipeable, especially after being refrigerated. The only thing I can think is that perhaps the quantities were slightly off? I would recommend using the gram measurements for accuracy just incase it is due to the quantities :)

[@lavenderjohnson7017]

I definitely used my grams scale to make sure everything was measured exactly, I put it in the fridge for about 30 mins piped a rose on a cupcake and came back in a few minutes and it had melted down. I am also not anywhere where it's humid right now it's actually fairly cool. So my concerns are when I fost this layer cake and let it sit its going to melt away should I add more sugar to it? Cornstarch? Whip it first? I didn't Re whip after I tool to out the fridge? Thank you so much?
