THE BEST CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING RECIPE – DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and butter until fluffy.
Add sifted cocoa powder and mix until fully combined.
Add sugar, one cup at a time, mixing a bit between each addition. When adding sugar, you will want to start the mixer slowly so it doesn’t explode everywhere. Continue creaming until well blended.
Add salt, vanilla, and 3-4 ounces whipping cream. Blend on low speed until moistened. Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
