Turns out great every time! I accidentally doubled the butter once; even that was good!

I made this frosting to go with Grace W.'s cream filled chocolate cupcake recipe (without the cream, I just wanted the cake part) This was my second recipe attempt in recent days, and it turned out perfect. Like I said about the cupcakes I'll say about the frosting: I'll never buy it out of a box again. I chose this buttercream frosting over others because some didn't contain butter, instead using lard. Um, what's "butter" cream frosting? It has BUTTER! This was light and creamy, totally unlike the heavy, chemically taste of tub frosting. And so absolutely simple. I followed the recipe exact and it whipped up just fine. One note, I took the advice of other reviewers and flavored it with melted baking chocolate instead of powder. So much healthier than tub stuff, and when it comes down to it, cheaper to buy the real ingredients, too.

This was really tasty as-is! I did use 3 tbsp of milk. It was a little thick after it set, so I probably should have used 4 tbsp of milk. However... there's no way it made 3 cups. I had to double the recipe to get 3 cups. When I did that, it turned out way too sweet and less chocolatey than I'd like, so I'd recommend using less sugar and compensating with the same amount of cocoa powder.

This worked as a good base, but needed some major tweaking. I added 4-5 tablespoons cocoa powder to add some chocolatey taste, and then added probably double the milk. I also mixed this with a hand blender to get it nice and fluffy (which isn't mentionned in the Directions). The recipe gave me an indication of how to make a good frosting, but ultimately I changed it so much that I was no longer following the directions given.

Tasted great and worked well with my frozen buttercream transfer. My technique/results were less than desirable but the buttercream frosting still tasted great!
