Incredible and Easy Chocolate-Coffee Frosting Recipe
I took this recipe from the Ghiradelli cocoa mix box and altered it a bit. I tend to find frosting recipes sickeningly sweet. This one is delicious and just the right sweetness, with a great mocha flavor. This recipe makes enough to cover the tops and sides of 2 9-inch rounds. Try it with the "Better than Box Cake" yellow cake recipe.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter
- 4 1/2 tablespoons whole milk
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder (I recommend Ghiradelli)
- 2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 dash salt
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 teaspoons dry instant coffee
Instructions
- Place butter, milk, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over low heat.
- Stir mixture until all the butter has just melted.
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla and salt.
- Sift in the confectioner's sugar and ground coffee.
- Mix until smooth.
- Cool to room temperature and frost away!
