Chocolate Buttercream Frosting Recipe
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting is a staple for cupcakes. We especially love it on our Reindeer Cupcakes Recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Salted Butter slightly softened (4 sticks)
- 2/3 cup Heavy Cream plus more if needed
- 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 7 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix powdered sugar and cocoa powder together; set aside.
- In the bowl of your mixer, beat butter, vanilla, and cream on medium low speed until smooth and combined.
- Decrease mixer speed to low and slowly add powdered sugar mixture, beating on low until barely mixed. Increase speed to high and beat for about a minute and a half, until smooth, light and fluffy. A butter knife should easily move through frosting — if too thick, add cream, 2 tablespoons at a time until desired consistency is reached.
