Ultimate Triple Chocolate Layer Cake

Chocolate Buttercream

• 1¼ cups butter (at room temperature)
• 3½ cups powdered sugar
• ¾ cup cocoa powder
• 3–5 tbsp heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Buttercream Instructions

1. Beat the butter for 2 minutes until pale, fluffy, and smooth. Proper aeration at this stage creates a lighter, more spreadable frosting.
2. Slowly add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing on low speed to avoid dusting. Continue until the mixture becomes thick and cohesive.
3. Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt, then beat on high for 3 minutes. The buttercream should become airy, creamy, and easy to pipe or spread. Adjust texture as needed.
4. If the frosting is too thick, add extra cream 1 tablespoon at a time until smooth and silky.
