Chocolate German Buttercream (and the cupcakes we ate it on)

I wish I had a photograph for you of the buttercream-topped cupcake, complete with sprinkles and a sugar rose, that was assembled for my Smallest Roommate's birthday. But at least I have the recipes! ( the tastiest, easiest buttercream I've ever made, plus yummy cupcakes )

They really were. I should figure out a GF version of the cake...

You could try this chocolate cupcake recipe & just use sugar instead of stevia (although I would add some extra liquid to compensate for the addition of the sugar).

I've made these cupcakes once before and they turned out quite nicely.

Also, here is my go-to recipe for gf chocolate cake. I haven't tried it as cupcakes yet, but it would probably work...

what does the salt do for the butter cream?

I'm not the OP, but I can tell you that the salt acts as a flavor enhancer-- something to ground all that chocolate, even in such a small amount, and punches up the taste factor.

This is a better wording of the explanation than the one I thought of!
