I used this buttercream to frost Martha's one bowl chocolate cupcakes - delicious! I added a teaspoon of almond extract to make chocolate almond buttercream. Perhaps because of the almond flavor, I thought the frosting was sweet enough after only 4 cups of powdered sugar. My boyfriend was amazed at how good this frosting was and couldn't keep his finger out of the bowl! Will definitely make again.

Far too heavy and too much butter. Even if used for 30 cupcakes it is too much. It does not have a good chocolate flavor and the texture is too greasy. I will not waste good butter on this again.

This chocolate buttercream is amazing! I used this instead of the Mrs. Milman's chocolate frosting on the moist devil's food cake recipe and it made for a beautiful and tasty birthday cake. Make sure not to over-beat the frosting!

I added the cocoa powder, like someone suggested, it was perfect, I halved the recipe and was more than enough for a double layer cake...

I added a tablespoon of cocoa powder to make it more chocolatey, and it worked just great!

This frosting was not very chocolatey. I would not make it again.
