Chocolate Buttercream

Ingridients

12 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate

2 cups unsalted butter

1 pinch salt

2 eggs

4 cups confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Melt the bittersweet chocolate, and allow to cool slightly.

Place the butter or margarine, salt, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat with a mixer until very light and airy, about 4 minutes. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time while beating on low speed. Mix well, and beat on medium speed for about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, and beat for 5 minutes more. Add the melted chocolate, and beat 4 minutes.
