I made this icing to top an amazing chocolate cake (recipe coming on June 25!!!). It was perfect for the cake, too perfect. I am having trouble keeping my mouth away from it! I made it for a potluck, but my husband got home from work late and we missed it. Now we have a huge thing of chocolate cake with Buttermilk Frosting just sitting here tempting us.
Here is a sneak peak of next time’s post and that amazing chocolate cake:
You will have to keep reading to see the cake recipe. But for now, here is the frosting blue print.

Directions:
- In a sauce pan, combine the butter, buttermilk, and cocoa powder. Bring to boiling. Remove from heat and add the powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Beat until smooth. Pour warm frosting over brownies or cake. Let cool.
