Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Perfect Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

This Chocolate Buttercream is perfection! It is light and fluffy and has the perfect chocolate touch! 

It is my go-to chocolate frosting recipe!

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

4½ to 5 cups powdered sugar

4 Tablespoon cocoa

1 teaspoons vanilla

5 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk,

 I prefer heavy cream

¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a medium bowl combine butter, powdered sugar, cocoa, vanilla, cream/milk, and salt and beat for 5-7 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add more powdered sugar to thicken and stiffen up frosting or more cream/milk to thin frosting out depending on use. If you are frosting cookies or a cake use less powdered sugar.

Notes

If you are using the frosting to decorate, use more powdered sugar for a stiffer frosting.
