How to make chocolate butter cream icing:
Butter cream icing is usually used to fill sponge cakes but can also be used as a topping for large sponge cakes or for fairy cakes. This butter cream icing is flavoured with cocoa but can be made without any extra flavouring or indeed with any other flavouring you like such as coffee or orange etc. It is quite a rich icing and therefore useful for special occasion cakes.



Ingredients

12 tablespoons (6oz) butter
1 cup (6oz) icing/confectioners' sugar
a really good chocolate or cocoa powder to taste
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the chocolate powder to taste.
- Can be used for Yule Log or sponge cake.
