Dark Chocolate Buttercream – Pani Reka Tiakarete Parauri
Everyone knows a cake or cupcake that just screams out the need for a deep chocolate buttercream. Well this is can be your new ‘go to’ e hoa mā (friends). It is slightly sweet, slightly savoury with the tiakarete parauri (dark chocolate) with a super creamy texture. You can pipe it on to your favourite cupcakes or cakes or simply smear it like I did on my kūmara and orange cake.
