It couldn’t be easier to make Chocolate Buttercream Icing in your Thermomix!

This Chocolate Buttercream Icing recipe is a favourite of mine and I regularly make it to go on top of my vanilla cupcakes and butter cake recipe.

This recipe will make enough buttercream to ice 12 cupcakes or a standard 20cm cake – such as our Thermomix Butter Cake Recipe.
