Skip the store-bought frosting in favor of this easy recipe for the best Chocolate Buttercream Frosting that takes just 5 minutes to make. I have a best buttercream icing to make.
Chocolate buttercream frosting has always been an item on my grocery list rather than a recipe in my baking repertoire. Who has the time to make buttercream frosting when it takes all of 2 seconds to toss it into your shopping cart and call it a day? I knew it was time to wave goodbye to the store-bought stuff and finally go the DIY route. Little did I know, 5 minutes into my recipe creation process I’d be licking a spatula slathered in the richest, creamiest, most chocolatey buttercream frosting to ever cross my lips.
Simply butter, cocoa powder, sugar, milk, vanilla, and my secret ingredient, a pinch of salt. The salt helps balance out the sweetness and round out the flavors. Toss all of the ingredients into a stand mixer, and you too will be a confectionery convert. The better the quality, the better the taste of your frosting. This recipe can be easily doubled for all my fellow chocoholics out there.
