Easy chocolate buttercream from The All-Purpose Baker's Companion (Revised and Updated) (page 342) by King Arthur Baking Company

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This got mixed reviews. Used it on the Classic Birthday Cake (very good!!) and some loved it, and others, including myself, didn’t think it was buttery enough for a buttercream. It was very very sweet, and it over powered the butter and chocolate. If I try it again I will up the amount of butter and reduce confectioners sugar by as much as possible and still get enough volume
