I was finally able to master chocolate buttercream icing! I tossed the recipes I had that said to add chocolate chips, or bakers chocolate, etc. Could never get those stable enough. I made regular buttercream and just added cocoa powder. Then let the mixer whip it for about 8 minutes. Perfection! I have no real recipe for buttercream icing - my kitchen is so hot it is hit or miss with how much sugar I have to add. I start with a stick of butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla and start whipping. I add 1/2 cup powdered sugar at a time of until I reach desired consistency to be able to pipe. This time for every 1/2 cup of sugar I added, I also added a spoon of cocoa powder.Saturday, July 21, 2012
