Ultimate Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
I have made this Ultimate Chocolate Buttercream Frosting so many times because everyone loved it. It goes great with my Easy Chocolate Cupcake and my Yule Log Cake. I also have made it with classic vanilla cupcake too! Just to be sure you make enough for everyone!

Ingredients
- 150 grams of unsalted butter
- 150 grams of icing sugar
- 60 grams of cocoa powder
- 100 grams of dark chocolate, melted
- 1/8 tsp. of instant coffee
- ½ tsp. of salt
- 1 tsp. of vanilla extract
- Milk
Instructions
- In your mixing bowl, add in butter, icing sugar, salt, instant coffee and cocoa powder. Mix on low until it forms into a thick paste.
- Add in your melted dark chocolate, beat on medium- high for 3 minutes.
- Add in vanilla extract, and continue beating. If it is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time to loosen it out. Beat for another 3 minutes on medium-high until smooth and fluffy!
Notes
- Make sure that your melted chocolate has been cooled to room temperature before mixing them together.
- Butter have to be soften at room temperature.
- Add just enough milk for piping. Too little, it will be too hard to pipe. Too much, it will become a huge watery mess.

I love cupcakes but not the uber sweet frostings. Tried many recipes and turned out equally sweet.
