Recipes Desserts Frostings and Icings Chocolate Buttermilk-Chocolate Buttercream Frosting 4.2 (5) 5 Reviews 4 Photos Perfect chocolate-buttermilk frosting to frost devil's food cake. Rich, buttery, and chocolaty, with just a hint of almond. Yummy. It took me a while to get this frosting right.

Mix in 2 cups powdered sugar, cocoa powder, almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Add buttermilk in small amounts until well combined. Add remaining 2 cups powdered sugar. Cook's Notes: Do not use margarine or any other substitutions for the butter. Keep in mind that amounts of milk and powdered sugar can be adjusted according to the desired consistency and yield. I use 6 cups powdered sugar and 1/2 cup buttermilk (give or take 1 to 2 tablespoons) to frost a 3-layer 9-inch round devil's food cake.
