Game changing BLACK BUTTERCREAM that WON'T STAIN and tastes incredible!

RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/black-bu...
This black buttercream not only tastes incredible, but pipes beautifully AND it won’t stain! This recipe uses a somewhat unorthodox method of making buttercream, but it truly works amazingly!
The secret ingredient in this recipe is black cocoa, but I also use melted chocolate along with confectioners sugar to create a well balanced buttercream that isn't too bitter because of the black cocoa or too sweet because of the icing sugar!

I knew there was an easier way to do this which is why I ordered the black cacao powder the other day and I should be getting it soon but I thought why do we have to go through all this can I just pour it in with some powdered sugar and pour some milk over it like it can’t be that this is difficult and why do you know it here you are confirming exactly what I thought you could do so thanks for posting this and confirming how to make this!

    Hi Chrissi! Hmmm vanilla black buttercream is pretty hard to achieve without adding a whole lot of black gel colour. You can try the microwave method where you colour the buttercream and then heat up a portion or all of it and then remix it. This helps deepen the colour without adding a lot of gel colour :)

    Hi there :) Oh no so sorry to hear it didn't quite work out for you! Hmmm so it should be stable and pipeable, especially after being refrigerated.

I am also not anywhere where it's humid right now it's actually fairly cool. So my concerns are when I fost this layer cake and let it sit its going to melt away should I add more sugar to it? Cornstarch? Whip it first? I didn't Re whip after I tool to out the fridge? Thank you so much?
