It’s rich, creamy and intensely chocolaty, and it couldn’t be easier to make! Plus it’s the perfect topping for cakes, cupcakes and more.
Baking and assembling a cake is hard enough without adding a complicated frosting recipe to the mix. Everyone needs a few easy frosting recipes up their sleeve and this is one of my favorites. It always receives rave reviews and every time I whir it up I want to dive in headfirst into the silky chocolate. Although I usually settle for a few finger swipes instead.
This frosting comes together in a food processor in about 10 seconds flat. It’s awesome. If you don’t have a food processor you can use a stand mixer or hand-held mixer, but the results won’t quite be the same. The food processor keeps the frosting dense and fudgy, while using something like a stand mixer will incorporate air into the frosting while you beat it, creating a more light and airy product.
Use this easy fudge buttercream frosting on just about anything! I’ve used it in this chocolate fudge layer cake [5] (pictured below), this yellow birthday cake with chocolate frosting [6], and on top of these vanilla cupcakes [7].
