Marble Snack Cake with Chocolate Buttercream
TIPS FOR BUTTERCREAM SUCCESS:
- Make sure that your butter is soft. This will ensure that you only have to mix the minimum amount of time to get a smooth and homogeneous frosting.
- Beat on the lowest speed of your mixer. Beating at a high speed for an extended amount of time will incorporate too much air into the frosting and will not be smooth. Don’t be tempted to speed the process up by increasing the mixture speed, be patient and you will be rewarded with beautifully smooth buttercream!
- Use the frosting immediately.
