Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Recipe Summary

Yield: Makes 5 1/2 cups

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

1 1/2 cups sugar

6 ounces whipping-quality pasteurized egg whites (6 large egg whites)

1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

5 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled

      Cook's Notes

The buttercream will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Egg whites make this icing glossy and smooth. If serving this cake to children, the elderly, or anyone whose health is compromised, use pasteurized egg whites (available at grocery stores) instead of separating eggs yourself.
