Description
While there are many ways to make chocolate buttercream frosting, our version is simple, quick, and reliable. It requires just a handful of ingredients and ten minutes of time to make, and the result is a silky, deeply chocolatey frosting that's ready to swipe onto whatever cakes or cupcakes you're baking (though we especially like it on fudgy chocolate cupcakes or hot milk cake). No fancy techniques, no unexpected steps — just a perfectly sweet, pantry-friendly recipe that you'll reach for again and again.
