CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM RECIPE
Ingredients
1 Cup | 2 Sticks | 220g Butter
5 Cups | 625g Icing Sugar | Powdered Sugar | Confectioners Sugar
½ Cup | 50g Cocoa Powder
½ Cup - 1 Cup | 125ml - 250ml Milk
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl if you are using a hand mixer add the room temperature butter. Beat on high speed for about 5 minutes until the butter is soft and almost doubled in volume.
Add the sugar in thirds, beating in between until completely incorporated. With the last third of the sugar add in the cocoa powder.
The buttercream will be very thick at this point, turn the mixer to low speed and stream in half a cup of milk.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add more milk if you would like a thinner consistency.
Add in the vanilla essence and beat for a further 2 minutes.
Pipe onto your cupcakes or use to decorate your cakes.

Bakers secret: Any chocolate anything will get a chocolate flavor boost from the smallest pinch of cinnamon. Just a teensy pinch will bring out more of the flavor. I learned this from my mother, who worked with a pastry chef when she was young. And I was a pastry chef for about 3 years and anything chocolate I made always had the tiniest pinch of cinnamon in it. You will not ever be able to detect it's flavor. Bon Appetit!
I must try that! I always add vanilla as that too will help the chocolate flavour 😊
Mahdee Aloo - and a pinch of salt. Cinnamon sounds great. Must try.
Another things that works even better is instant coffee or coffee extract
Coffee enhances chocolate flavor also
Thank you for the tips
I’m 59 years old and never made my own icing till this past weekend. I made a chocolate box cake and didn’t have a can of frosting in the house, so I figured I would try making some. I used your vanilla butter cream recipe and OMG, it was easy but was delicious! My family said that this was the best cake I ever made. Next time I’ll try the chocolate Butter cream. Thanks again.
I tried this it was sooo good. For me 5 cups of sugar did seem like a little too much so I did 3 and it was perfect so if you don’t want too too much I recommend 3 and it was still nice and sweet. I recommend this recipe :)
Thank you.
I agree I only use 3 cups 😊
I did 3 too it was great! I don’t like super sweet buttercream
Thank you so much for sharing your buttercream recipes! I am making a chocolate and vanilla cake and I’m going to stack them up! So this frosting will DEFINITELY fit in with the cakes!
Was looking for a new recipe, Tried this for the first time tonight. Came out beyond amazing! Just wow. This recipe is going into my box. 😃
I tried this and it was AMAZING thank you so much.
I cannot believe this turned out!!! It is amazing and fluffy and just awesome!
I made this yesterday and it's perfect. Very light in texture and as mentioned before...tastes like melted icecream.
This made a lovely, light chocolate buttercream..it’s much different from the traditional chocolate icing I was brought up making. It’s definitely my new “go to!” Thank you for sharing with us! Blessings from Atlantic Canada.
Im just learning to bake and I find your channel helpful to beginners like me...very clear ! I hope to learn more!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy learning from my tutorials 😊
This helped me so much 'cause I'm new to baking.

I'm a food photographer- I cook and bake what I'm going to photographer and your channel is fantastic. I love buttercream frosting.
OMG!! I Just made this Butter Cream for a chocolate cake I made and it is to die for!! Thank you so much. This is a keeper:))
Carina, thank you, your video is awesomeness! I am learning (at the ripe old age of 51) how to bake. Not only was your video informative but concise. I didn't have to listen to a long story about your neighbor's neighbor's friend with the poodle whose cousin had a baby that likes frosting. I cannot wait to try this!
I hate it when they make you listen to drible. No one cares. Just get to the recipe! She did great!
@aisha iliyasu it’s a piping bag
I love your recipes, tried and successfully mastered both choc and vanilla. Thx!!!
How long did it take
Delicioso! Estoy terminando mis cupcakes de chocolate en este preciso momento! Gracias infinitas súper explicado! 👍🏻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😘

Just made a batch, thank you for making it extremely easy, I've never attempted it before because I didn't think I'd get it right lol my piping skills need some work lmao but the frosting turned out awesome.

This was excellent! Never buying premade again.
Thank you so much. Blessings.
You're very welcome!
I am going to try this! Im a beginner so i use to make cakes from store boxes and frosting containers but now im going to try my hand at doing scratch and will def try this!
Once you start making cakes and frosting from scratch, you will never go back!
Thank you soo soo much !! Your buttercream recipe helped me alot today !
Thankx carina fr this video. very well explained. Keep the good work going👍
You're very welcome 😊
thanks for the lesson, your my teacher, big up
Thank you - you give very clear instructions and this frosting is Devine!
This one of THE best tasting chocolate buttercream frostings I have had and when I made it it turned out amazing! Thank you
Genuine question: does it taste like butter or something? I feel like it would taste so bad (i have never made buttercream)
I absolutely love how you explain every detail. Can’t wait to try this one. Thank you so much for sharing your delicious talent.
You're very welcome 😊
@@recipesbycarina 6gģu
Her explanation was very much detailed I remember everything step by step
This was amazing ! Loved your vanilla and chocolate buttercream :) ❤️
How long did it take
today is my parents' anniversary and i am going to make them a mug cake and use this frosting recipe for the top of it! thank u so much, this is a very easy recipe and i think (and hope) i can accomplish it. thanks again!
I love how this turned out! It was fun too!😀
“It’s impossible to cream butter by hand”. Me: well, at least we are in quarantine-
yeah no its not impossible to mix by hand nor dose it take forever it takes like what 5 minutse of mixing. Honestly i think they rely on the eletic mixer too mutch
p.s its way better when you mix by hand, with the eletric mixer it will over mix it. Not that im saying dont use the mixer go ahead, i just think she is over stating the truth.
But hey im no chef i could be completly wrong here.
🤣
GreenBandit ,7895 Disagree the powered sugar dissolves better with a mixer. Most people use the paddle attachment so you don’t incorporate too much air.
@Dior Vee 😐
its been a year- did u reach the fluffy butter stage yet?
I was looking for an easy & good recipe & this is the perfect one. Thanks for sharing it with us. Be blessed :)
hi i know its late may I know if its too sweet?
Thanks Carina. This is the best method and instruction of how to make frosting.
Wow, thank you so much for this. I am so going to try this one 😍
I tried this ‘and its really helpful ❤️ thank you...
I tried this recipe out and it works amazing. It tastes so good. THANK YOU!!
You are very welcome 😊
Was the bittercream gritty ?
Been searching n I've found the best way to make chocolate butter cream. Thx much
I will be using this recipe tomorrow in making cupcakes. My niece would love this for her birthday. Thank you 😊
This is my favourite baking/cooking Channel thank you and theses recipes are so delicious and so simple
Thank you for showing us step by step how to do this! My butterceam never comes out fluffy and now I know why...I don't mix it long enough...especially the butter! Thank you again!
You're very welcome! Try make it this way next time and compare the results 😊
That's my error as well.
Thanks very much for sharing your experience of baking, very much appreciated, I have learnt a lot.
I made this frosting and also the chocolate cupcake and it was delicious!
This is awesome, just made it along side you, perfect!!! My husband is going to love his chocolate birthday cake! 💖 thank you!
Is it enough for a chocolate cake? I was wondering may be It's too much
OMG THANK YOU! I always thought confectors sugar was granulated sugar! I’m gonna use this recipe thank you!
Lol
My go to chocolate buttercream recipe! Thanks for sharing 😊💙
Came out really well.Thank you for the recipe ❤️
For me, whipping it at high speed and adding a pinch of salt makes all the difference in making buttercream :) The latest buttercream I've seen does not use powdered sugar, but it does use sweetened condensed milk! I haven't tried it yet, but am looking forward to making it :)
Yes, when I used sweetened condensed milk, I got so many compliments. It is very yummy too :)
Thanks Carina for helping me out even though I'm only 10 I really love baking, thanks for the recipie!😊
Izzen Satti i am a fetus
Amazing recipe, tried it yesterday and it turned out so yumm, thank you so much for sharing Carina
Rizwan Shaikh hey
This buttercream frosting 🧁 is the BEST. I just made it today for my husband’s birthday. He was so happy 😀 with his homemade cake with this buttercream! Thank you for making your video!
Definitely going to try this tomorrow. Thanks!!!!
I've just tried it! it taste like old bakeries frosting like Magnolia Bakeries,I used Hersheys Cocoa it gave little light cocoa color, for choco lovers try to use stronge Cocoa powder..Thanks for the great recipe♡
This recipe is amazing! When I make failed cupcakes, I just make some buttercream to save it
Thank you so much. You answered all the questions in my mind my. God bless you
You're very welcome 😊
I did an sloth cake flur with this recipe using the grass wilton tip. Was delicious and beautiful. Than you so much. 💕
When u didn't know that u had to wait an hour before the butter is in room temp when you're already ready to bake lol 😂😂
Hikari Taniguchi I feel u 😭
🙈🤣
Australiantatious first of all, not everyone has a microwave and don’t see it as a problem(not me, my bro lives fine without) second, you wont get the right temperature in the microwave.
@@imcarryinglilmeowmeowskitt4021 microwave nt very healthy either
Alexander Supertramp not the same. inside gets liquid n outside stays cold
To The letter, my icing came out perfect! Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome 😊
What mixer did you use?
Perfect buttercream! Tried it out. Thankyou so much for this recipe.
You're welcome 😊
I liked how you are explaining in detail. Thank you.
Thank you,i learned now
Baking tip if you only have granulated sugar: put the sugar in a blender and for every cup add a teaspoon of corn starch and it makes powdered sugar, I've been using it for a while and it's the best
Thanks Carina for sharing I try the recipe and the result was awsome
Thank you so much. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow.
I’ve tried the recipe was scrumptious 😋
Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it 🙂
I’ve made this recently and it’s beyond awesome! Will doubling this recipe be enough for 4 round 9in layers? Thank you for sharing this recipe! Great video. ❣️🎂
Thank you so much 😊 You might need 3x, it would definitely be enough for 8" but I'm not sure about 9"
and how big cakes could you frost with this recipe? what about 2 thin 10inch cakes, do we need to double it?
I cannot wait to try this. I just bought my brand new beautiful blue kitchenaid. :)
I've tried it today ,thank you so much for the recepie 🤗
Looks super good and well explained!!! 😁♥️
Thank you 😊
I always use salted butter in buttercream as I find it evens the taste (cuts some of the extra sweetness out) and I like to taste the butter.
But that's not baking butter
@Robert Goh can I use stork/cake butter
Eden Sellors h
Whaaa😍 thank you a lot for the recipe with batter, 'cause, I'm afraid I couldn't find any cream cheese in my country... I like you videos so much🖤🖤🖤
I love your aussie accent too, i love ur recipes and im gonna try ur butter cream recipe today, since in a lil baker for my chocolate cake , thank you 💜💜💜😊 helps alot
I just made it and it's so yummy! I'm baking strawberry cupcakes to put it on.
That sounds delicious 😊
will definitely try the recipe. thank you
I made it and it came out exactly like yours, and is AMAZING.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it 😊
Wow I made this and it was AMAZING great job
I personally found this recipe super sweet so when I tired this recipe the second time I tried instead of 5 cups of sugar I did 1 and 1/2 with a pinch of cinnamon with 1 teaspoon of vanilla and no milk or any other wet ingredients
Hi,! How it taste of 1 cup of sugar? Is it just nice or what? Bcoz 5cups of icing sugar, i think you can get a diabetes 🤣🤣🤣
That's why I'm not fond of using buttercream frosting for my cake.. Too much sugar is not good😥
Just made this and have to say was perfect until I added the milk. Then it was ruined.
Robert Currie did you use regular butter or unsalted butter ?
@@crystalrodriguez1266 hello I used the unsalted butter :)
“It’s very important that your butter is at room temperature, if it’s straight out of the f-
Me: say no more
*takes butter out of the fridge and puts it in the microwave*
Me: perfect 👌🏻
Easy way to get it to room temp 😊
Lols that's so me 😝😂
@@recipesbycarina how about sticking it straight into the blazing sun for a bit...?
Lol
Lol I do that and I’m 8!
Thanks for the recipe! I have been meaning to make some for my birthday!!
I followed this recipe exactly the other day, and just like others have said, it really does taste like Melted Chocolate Ice-cream!!! What a surprise, definitely a keeper!!!
and how big cakes could you frost with this recipe? what about 2 thin 10inch cakes, do we need to double it?
@@armaan3246 Seems like doubling it would be good for a 4 layer of 8" round cakes, but I'm not too sure??
Thank you! This was a great recipe, however, can you put proportions on how much buttercream you need to cover a specific size cake? Thanks!
Have u tried the recipe? I want to try but idk how much can this cover on a cake ;-;
I did this recipe and my family couldn't stop eating it!!
Can i ask the exact measurement of recipe...thanks in advance🙂
So glad I found this channel! I love your videos!
Thank you so much 😊
This is such a great idea. I always made chocolate cream using butter and cocoa powder like you shared in the video. If I use melted chocolate, it takes so much time to beat and most of the time my cream gets too thin
Thank you for the recipe. I just wanted to know whether this quantity of buttercream is enough for icing an eight inch cake.
You're welcome 😊 Yes it is
I love her voice it’s so calming!
Thank you so much 😊

Made it as written. Wow! Excellent recipe and very delicious. Makes quite a bit (700ml) Thank you Carina 😊
Thank you so much very helpful!
My Mum taught me to use cooled coffee. Thank you! Yummy. Say are you Aussie or Kiwi? I don't mean to be rude! You have a very strong accent and I enjoy trying to figure out where people are from. Trying to learn the flags too. Or wait.....not South African?🙂🤔🎄🙏😻🍥
I'm also thinking South African
Made this recipe to frost a one layer cake and I had TOO MUCH buttercream left over so I suggest u to half the recipe if u want to frost a one layer cake or like a couple of cupcakes
But it tasted so good i made it with a vanilla cake ❤️❤️❤️
How long wa your cake in diameter?
I dont really know BUT i just made it in a normal circular pan
@@rebeccaqueens4254 oh ok thx for replying so fast!
How long did it take u to make the butter cream
Can i use it as a filling for my mille crepes?
This worked great! Thank you
Thanks! It’s the best buttercream I’ve made!!!
