Chocolate Buttercream
Yield: 3 Cups

Ingredients
1 Cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 1/2 Cups (420g) powdered sugar
1/2 Cup (40g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
4 Tbsp whole milk, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
1. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, whip the butter on medium speed until creamy and light in color, about 4-5 minutes.
2. Scrape down the bowl and paddle, then add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, salt, and vanilla extract.
3. Cover the stand mixer with a clean kitchen towel (to prevent ingredients flying out of the bowl), then turn the mixer to low speed and mix until all ingredients start to come together.
4. Remove the kitchen towel, scrape down the bowl and paddle, then continue mixing on low speed until uniform and smooth, 2-3 minutes.
