Need a fluffy chocolate frosting? This is a no-fail buttercream that has just the right amount of chocolate flavor. Use it as a frosting or filling with a variety of cake flavors.

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled

With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar, scraping down the sides as needed.
