thank you! I am making this frosting rn while my chocolate cake is cooling down . I read somewhere that frosting should be done only after the cake cools down . Now which makes more sense if i plan on serving this only after 6 hours : add frosting to the cake and keep it in the fridge OR keep the frosting and cake separate in the fridge then combine it later ? I feel combining now may be easier to slice and serve without crumbling
Cool the cake fully. Then frost it and then place it back in the fridge to firm up. Then once firm later on, take it out about 30 mins before eating to really enjoy it.
Correct. The salt will balance out the sweetness or make your cupcake less sweet. Normally the cupcake that I make, I use bitter chocolate and I want my buttercream to have that extra sweetness to balance the bitterness from the chocolate in the cupcake. I hope this helps.
I liked the flavor but when I added the milk it just melt down no matter how much I mixed it it didn’t harden I had to add way much sugar for it to peak
@@AveryRaassen it’s on the fridge rn I hope it hardens cuz I got my cakes ready to be decorated and I did mixed it for like 25 min it was really great until I added the milk it just went flat 😭😭
@@AveryRaassen so a little update I wish I could upload a picture 🤣🤣… it did got harder and I was so happy with it like so haooy with the flavor and texture but not even 5 minutes after being out of the fridge it started mentil it didn’t hold it went everywhere like idk what happened or did wrong I followed step by step and even mixed it longer 😭😭😭😭 why did it melt faster than ice cream :(
It can last for a good 1 week in an air tight container. If you don't add the milk, it can last for a good 2 weeks. You might need to whip it back up because over time it can deflate and change in colour from light brown to a slightly darker brown but it should be all good as long as you keep whatever you piped this on covered in the fridge.
Yes, to get rid of lumps and to really ensure the butter cream is super smooth. Unless you can get Icing that has been sieved or been treated or a thing called snow sugar, then you don't have to.
@@anasuzairyll130 To make sure, the buttercream isn't runny or dilute, make sure you whip the buttercream back up to at least twice the volume after adding the milk/ liquid. Also, depending on your room temperature, you can place the buttercream in the fridge to firm up for some minutes, if you need it faster, place it in the freezer but if you do, make sure you mix or more the buttercream around otherwise some sections will be firmer than other parts in the bowl. I hope this helps. Do let me know.
What happened there? Did you continue to whip it until it whips back and remains with a shape when you move it around? You can place it in the fridge to firm back up and play around with the consistency. I hope that helps.
@@stephaniesingletary1640 Also depending where you are and the climate, the butter at room temperature even though soft might be too soft. Do let me know how that goes : )
Made this today and it turned out great. Gonna drizzle some nutella on top of my cake to get that extra hazelnut flavour. Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe
Very nice recipe 😍
Wow.. those cupcakes looks delicious..😋😋😋

I used unsalted butter and it came
Out super duper sweet 😂 if I use salted butter I’m assuming I t wont be so sweet?
Correct. The salt will balance out the sweetness or make your cupcake less sweet. Normally the cupcake that I make, I use bitter chocolate and I want my buttercream to have that extra sweetness to balance the bitterness from the chocolate in the cupcake. I hope this helps.
Is there any way I can make this less sweet ?
Beautieful I❤IT'S thans you for you video's tips 🤗👌
You are very welcome.
Love your recipe
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
A weapon of mass destruction in a bowl 😂😂 I'll make some for the Yule Log next Christmas 😋😋
Very nice!
Do you think we could add double cream instead of milk?
You can. The only worry I have with double cream, it could split or go grainy the longer we whip the Buttercream.
does it matter if the milk is cold or room temp?
Not really. As long as it is not hot then it should be fine.
does it melt faster if you pipe it?
It all depends on your room temperature
I liked the flavor but when I added the milk it just melt down no matter how much I mixed it it didn’t harden I had to add way much sugar for it to peak
Did you put it in the fridge to set a little incase and try to whip it up some more?
@@AveryRaassen it’s on the fridge rn I hope it hardens cuz I got my cakes ready to be decorated and I did mixed it for like 25 min it was really great until I added the milk it just went flat 😭😭
@@itsmeiamwhoiis7138 Keep me updated.

@@itsmeiamwhoiis7138 How much sugar did you add? Also, did you use pure Butter?
Can I use the electric handheld mixer?
Yes you can but it will take slightly longer and you will need to move the mixer around to get the mix evenly beaten.
Can we use mixer grinder to make the Nutella buttercream frosting?
Not really as you want to whip air into the mixture to make it fluffy. The mixer grinder might make it dense.
@@AveryRaassen OK thanku so much😊
how long can i store this for ?
It can last for a good 1 week in an air tight container. If you don't add the milk, it can last for a good 2 weeks.
You might need to whip it back up because over time it can deflate and change in colour from light brown to a slightly darker brown but it should be all good as long as you keep whatever you piped this on covered in the fridge.
@@AveryRaassen thank you !!
Can i use handmixer?
Yes you can. It will take some time but it will get there.
Will this be enough for a 7 by 7 inch cake?
Yeah, it will be enough. Also, depends if you are spreading it thin or piping. If you spreading it evenly, it will be a good amount.
i dont have icing sugar
Get icing sugar
Can I just do this with normal sugar or just powdered sugar instead of the one you use
It is better to use powdered sugar otherwise it won't dissolved properly into the Nutella and it will slightly grainy
Has it to be salted Butter??
I prefer salted butter as it compliments the overall Buttercream with Chocolate and Nuts( in this case Hazelnut).
@@AveryRaassen okay thankss 😊
when you don't have an electric mixer 😢
I’m using my spoons n all and it still works looool
@@aliyah3534😂😂😂😂🔥
Do we really need to sieve the sugar
Yes, to get rid of lumps and to really ensure the butter cream is super smooth. Unless you can get Icing that has been sieved or been treated or a thing called snow sugar, then you don't have to.
@@AveryRaassen ohh ,, thanks . However i tried to make frosting but it was too dilute . Pls tell me wheres my mistake so i could improve on ut
@@anasuzairyll130 Did you make my recipe or another recipe?
@@AveryRaassen your recipe

I think the butter flavor is too strong. I'll try 150g next time.
Try that and let me know how that goes.
Mine is too liquidy

Thanks I'll try whipping it some more

Try adding less milk
@@starblack9374 That works too : )
Mine is too liquid
Did you change anything? What was the temperature of your room?
@@AveryRaassen nope i didnt change anything but d weather is so hot here maybe thats why ??
@@Hubbawasit What is the temperature there?
Traducere an romana te rog
I will use no more than 350 grams of sugar next time, way too sweet for my taste.
Or you could make your cakes, sponges, things you were putting it on, less sweet to counter the sweetness from this
