Is making buttercream difficult? 

The answer is "no".

7 Minute Buttercream is all done in 7 minutes.

You only need 4 ingredients.

This is the American Buttercream variety and is sweet.

When you need some sweetness, make this 7-Minute Buttercream right away.

The amount given is enough to cover a 7-inch three-layer cake.

This buttercream will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator and 2 months in the freezer.

If you want to use it again, take it out of the refrigerator, leave it at room temperature, and when it becomes soft, whip it with a hand blender again.

Ingredients  

* 1 tsp = 5 ml, 1 Tbsp = 15 ml, 1 cup = 240 ml

300 g(1 1/3 cups ) unsalted butter(softened) 480 g(about 4 cups) icing sugar(shifted) * If you don't like sweets, reduce it to 3 cups. *It can be adjusted between 3 cups and 5 cups to suit your taste. 6 Tbsp cocoa powder(shifted) 5~6 Tbsp milk 1 tsp vanilla extract

The amount given is enough to cover a 7-inch three-layer cake.

Prepare the butter by letting it come to room temperature before use. 

Soften room temperature butter.

Beat the butter with a hand blender until light in color.

Add the powdered sugar provided. Powdered sugar is sugar called icing sugar or confectioner's sugar.

I recommend that you sift the powdered sugar before adding it.

Beat until the powdered sugar is completely dissolved. In my case it took about 3-4 minutes.

Add sieved cocoa powder.

 

Add milk little by little for consistency.

The amount of milk may vary depending on the ambient temperature. You need more milk in cold weather and less in hot summer. Add the amount of milk while checking the consistency according to the situation.

Beat until fluffy.

The process of making chocolate buttercream will be completed in less than 7 minutes.
