Cake Kit – Chocolate Buttercream

The buttercream is very changeable, you can make it with different chocolate, white, whole milk, dark chocolate, chilli, etc. I have also made it with nougat, for this I used half chocolate half nougat. It can also be pimped up with spices such as cinnamon etc.

Chop the chocolate.

Remove some of the milk and stir in the cornstarch, sugar and egg. Bring the rest of the milk to the boil.

Dissolve the chocolate in the boiling milk. When it is dissolved, stir in the starch mixture, bring to the boil and simmer for approx. 3 minutes. Stir in the coconut oil until it has melted.

Let the pudding cool while stirring several times. I usually put the pot in cold water so that it goes faster.

In the meantime, whip the butter until creamy. When the pudding has cooled down, stir the pudding into the butter spoon by spoon.

The buttercream is enough for one layer (or 2 thin layers) and the coating of the cake.
