Tips to making PERFECT Chocolate Buttercream Frosting (or any buttercream frosting)
1.)Let butter soften at room temperature. Do not microwave or you may risk melting the butter. Melted butter will make for a super thin frosting and then you’ll have to overcompensate with more powder sugar, etc. Making the frosting waaay to sweet and weird tasting. To speed up the butter softening process you can cut into smaller pieces. I just take a stick out of the fridge in the morning and let it sit until I’m ready to bake. By then it’s super soft, but still hold it’s shape which is what you want. If it’s a last minute frosting and I don’t have 30 minutes to an hour to wait for the butter to soften, I’ll cheat and throw the butter in the microwave for just a few seconds while watching it like a hawk to make sure none of it is melted and then let it sit for about 15 minutes to completely soften.
