mocha frosting
I needed something quick. And chocolatey. With coffee. This is a very good recipe for cupcakes.
ingredients:
1 stick of butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup Valrhona cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup strong coffee
In an electric mixer beat the butter slowly adding the cocoa powder and sugar. Add the vanilla, and slowly add the coffee. You many need more or less coffee, but get it to the consistency you like. This is not a high fluffy frosting, but a nice spreadable one.
