Chocolate buttercream 

Ingredients:

• 4 sticks of unsalted butter
• 2 oz of cocoa powder
• 1 pound of confectioner's sugar(or more if yours becocmes too soft)
• 8 oz of semi sweet chocolated melted.

Directions:

 

1. In large bowl, cream butter with electric mixer
2. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed.
3. Add cocoa and mix a little
4. Add melted chcolate
5.  Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry.  
6. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use.
7.  Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
