Ooops. As much as I&#8217;d like to say that was the reason for making version 2.0, it wasn&#8217;t. I just wanted to film another recipe- at much better quality!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Chocolate Buttercream Recipe<\/strong><\/span> <br \/>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup (240g) butter<\/li>\n<li>8 cups (1kg) icing sugar<\/li>\n<li>2\/3 cup (70g) unsweetened cocoa powder<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon (15mL) vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>6-8 tablespoons (60mL- 90mL) milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Procedure:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until fluffy. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Add half of the icing sugar, and cocoa powder and slowly mix. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla and 5 tablespoons of the milk.\u00a0 Mix until no clumps remain. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Add the rest of the icing sugar and two-three more tablespoons of milk until desired consistency is reached.\u00a0 (You will want a thinner buttercream for spreading onto cakes, and a thicker one for piping flowers, or borders.) \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Use immediately or store in a sealed container for 2-3 days in the fridge. If you are storing the buttercream in the fridge, allow it to come to room temperature, and remix it briefly before using.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_like addtoany_special_service\" data-href=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=9423\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter_tweet addtoany_special_service\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=9423\" data-text=\"Homemade Chocolate Buttercream Recipe \/ How to Make Chocolate Icing for Piping and Frosting Cakes\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_google_plusone addtoany_special_service\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=9423\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/pinterest?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcookiescupcakesandcardio.co%2F%3Fp%3D9423&amp;linkname=Homemade%20Chocolate%20Buttercream%20Recipe%20%2F%20How%20to%20Make%20Chocolate%20Icing%20for%20Piping%20and%20Frosting%20Cakes\" title=\"Pinterest\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/pinterest.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Pinterest\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nwpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to get the PERFECT HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM recipe, this video is for you!
