Chocolate Buttercream |
|
Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
pinch of table salt
|
|
Directions: |
Directions:In the bowl of a mixer with whisk attachment, whisk butter and sugar on medium-high until very pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Be sure to stop at least once and scrape the bowl.
With the mixer off add in cocoa powder, vanilla and salt.
Turn mixer on low and blend for about 30 seconds.
One tablespoon at a time, add in heavy cream.
Once all cream has been added and mixture is mostly combined, turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Now turn the mixer onto medium-high to high and whisk for 3-5 minutes, or until mixture is light and fluffy. The frosting will be shiny and seem to have many large air bubbles throughout and this is exactly what we are going for (you can smooth those out on the cupcakes if so desired).
Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
