mocha frosting

August 14th, 2008 by justJENN

This is a quick and DELICIOUS frosting, great 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

With an electric mixer beat the butter and slowly add the sugar and cocoa. Careful – also don’t wear a black shirt. Trust me.

Add the vanilla and the coffee, you may need more or less coffee, depending on the consistency you want. This is not a thick frosting, it’s a nice spreadable one.
