chocolate buttercream

Sweet brown icing

Chocolate buttercream is a rich, creamy frosting made by whipping butter with powdered sugar and chocolate or cocoa.

It's the standard filling and coating for layer cakes and cupcakes: She piped chocolate buttercream roses onto the birthday cake.

The texture is smooth and spreadable, sweeter and denser than whipped cream frostings.
