Chocolate Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This makes a light covered chocolate frosting thats just the right amount of chocolate-y without being too rich. It makes enough to frost a 2-layer 8 or 9-inch cake. This chocolate buttercream frosting goes wonderfully with a very simple vanilla cake. Nothing celebrates a birthday, mother's or father's day, valentine's day, or really any occasion, better than a homemade cake. But you don't always need a reasonsometimes it's nice to just have cake, you know?The layers of this cake freeze beautifully when well wrapped in plastic wrap, then sealed in a freezer-proof zipper top bag. I love having a couple of cake layers in the fridge to pull out when i don't have time to bake for an occasionyou will feel very on top of things, even as chaos reigns throughout the house. For a chocolate frosting with a bit of tangy-ness to it, try this easy sour cream chocolate frosting (especially good on pound cakes, carrot cakes, and honey cakes).
