It’s soft, fluffy and incredibly decadent, pipes beautifully onto your chocolate cupcakes and is perfectly smooth and luscious to layer with a chocolate cake.

– Butter – Icing Sugar – Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – Milk – Vanilla Essence

Ingredients

In the bowl of your stand mixer or a large bowl if you’re using a hand mixer add the room temperature butter.

1

Beat the butter on medium speed for 4-5 minutes until light, fluffy and almost doubled in volume. Use a spatula to scrape down the bowl a few times so all the butter is evenly incorporated.

2

Add the sugar in thirds, waiting until it’s fully incorporated before adding the next third.

3

Add the cocoa powder with the last third of sugar and mix on low speed. The mixture will start to look dry and crumbly.

4

With the machine running on low add half of the milk along with the vanilla essence. The buttercream will instantly start to come together.
