Favorite chocolate buttercream is an excellent name for this frosting! Always a hit for any cake. I have made it multiple times.

Sally’s Baking Addiction is one of my favourite sites and her chocolate buttercream does not disappoint. It’s decadent, smooth and oh so creamy. I love that she includes a choice of milk or whipping cream in her recipe as this affects the texture. I personally prefer a mix of the two for just the right consistency. If you are looking for a simple chocolate buttercream that everyone will love, this is it!

Awesome! Not over the top sweet so it balances well with the cake. I will make it again.

This is the best chocolate buttercream! I love it! Start with slightly less vanilla extract and add more if that's your liking. I highly recommend this recipe! It's easy and fun to pipe and so yummy! When I made it, I could'nt stop licking the kitchen utensils!
P.S. Sally has some awesome books on amazon.com, and lots of wonderful free recipes on sallysbakingaddiction.com!
