This is the first frosting I learned to make. Instead of milk however I use heavy cream I think it makes the frosting a little bit richer tasting.

Butter cream Frosting is such an easy frosting and nearly impossible to ruin. Too much milk by accident, add more powdered sugar. I taught my kids to make Butter cream frosting first, because it was a no fail confidence builder. It is, in my opinion, still the best frosting for nearly any cake. I have made a change over the years. When making Chocolate Butter Cream, I substitute Kahlua for Vanilla and double the amount. I realize that Kahlua has alcohol content, but so does real vanilla. I've had people tell me that my chocolate frosting was the best they'd tasted. The only difference is the Kahlua.

So when making your Chocolate Butter Cream, what do you use for the chocolate? Are the rest of your ingredients the same as this one, minus the vanilla? Would love to know! (:

We made this all the time when I was a kid, sometimes just to spread on bread. My mom, however, was an expert at making 7 minute frosting that was to die for.
