Use this easy chocolate buttercream recipe for rich and smooth icing every time - ideal for finishing birthday, celebration or party cakes

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 25m

Yield Covers 1 x 20cm sponge cake (serves 12)

Number Of Ingredients 5

100g milk chocolate, chopped into small pieces
200g slightly salted butter, softened
400g icing sugar, sieved
4 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp milk

Steps:

  • Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, suspended over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir every now and then until melted. (Alternatively, melt in the microwave, stirring the chocolate every 20 secs so it doesn't burn.)
  • Remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool a little. Meanwhile, put the butter and icing sugar in another large bowl and mash with a spatula to combine (this will prevent you covering the work surface in icing sugar), then whisk with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Sift in the cocoa and pour in the melted chocolate and milk, then mix again until smooth, and use to ice your chosen cake immediately. Will keep in the fridge for up to a week, but remove an hour before using to bring it back to room temperature, and beat well.

EASY CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING



Easy Chocolate Fudge Frosting image

I got this recipe from a bowling partner several years ago when I discovered I was out of powdered sugar and asked her for a frosting recipe I could put on "One Pot Brownies" that didn't call for powdered sugar. I don't know where this recipe originated as she recited it to me from memory. It's a snap to make and goes good on brownies, cake, cookies-just about any product calling for frosting.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING

Use this frosting to make our Chocolate Spice Cake.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon corn syrup

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Place chocolate chips in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until roughly chopped.
  • Combine cream, butter, and corn syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until butter is melted.
  • With the motor running, pour cream mixture through the feed tube of the food processor; process until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer frosting to a bowl; set over the ice bath. Stir every 10 minutes, until frosting is thick and spreadable, about 1 1/2 hours.

Tips

  • Use high-quality frosting: The type of frosting you use will have a big impact on the final product. Look for a frosting that is thick and creamy, and has a rich chocolate flavor. Some good options include chocolate buttercream frosting, chocolate ganache, or chocolate fudge frosting.
  • Don't overcook the frosting: Overcooking the frosting will make it grainy and dry. Cook it just until it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent it from crumbling or breaking apart.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature: Fudge can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you want to store it for longer, you can freeze it for up to two months.

Conclusion

Chocolate fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a rich and decadent fudge that will satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this chocolate fudge recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
