Are you a fan of cake? Yeah… me too!
Cake is just the best with homemade frosting. Seriously.. I could lick the bowl, many times over when making it.
And making it yourself couldn’t be easier than this Perfect 6 Minute Chocolate Buttercream. You can have it made and that cake frosted in NO time.
If you are a fan of vanilla frosting try our Perfect 6 Minute Vanilla Buttercream.
As a note.. if you have any leftover Chocolate Buttercream it is AMAZING frosted onto graham crackers. It’s gluten free ones for me now, but growing up my mom would make Frosted Graham Crackers quite often.
If you never tried it.. make sure you do!
