Unsweetened Chocolate Frosting

Source of Recipe

Baker's Chocolate


Recipe Introduction

This is a good, basic buttercream made with unsweetened chocolate. I had the Baker's so I used that, but it would be better with a better quality chocolate. Do not refrigerate this frosting - it gets very stiff.

List of Ingredients

4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
16 oz. 10X
1 stick butter, softened
2 t. vanilla
1/3 c. milk


Recipe

Melt the chocolate and transfer to mixer bowl. Cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes. Add the 10X and mix well. Add the butter and vanilla; mix on low until well blended. Gradually add the milk beating until smooth.

Makes enough frosting to cover top and sides of 2 (8 or 9 inch) cake layers; top and sides of a 13x9 inch cake; tops of 3 (8 or 9 inch) layers; or 18 - 24 cupcakes.
