Description
Layer cakes are messy and hard work, no way to sugarcoat that. But making the buttercream frosting in the food processor streamlines at least one of the steps and cuts down on cleanup.
Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: 3-4 tbsp (maybe 1 tbsp more, if needed)
- Cocoa Powder: 3 tbsp.
- Honey: 1 tbsp.
- Vanilla extract: 1 tsp.
- Confectioners Sugar: 1 cup.
Instructions
- Make sure the food processor bowl is dry. Dump all the ingredients into it.
- Close with the lid and put a towel on the feeder opening and press with your hand while it is running..
- Blitz for a minute, you will get something like coarse sand. If needed you can add a little bit of butter, around 1 tbsp or a little bit of honey and then bitz again for a minute and scrape the sides down.
- Again, close the lid and blitz for another two minutes.
- Open the lid and Voila!! Creamy, satiny, goeey buttercream.
- Prep Time: 10 mins
