I made this version of frosting to go with Lisa Glass's Black Magic Cake. Chocolate on chocolate is a bit much for me, so I decided to tinker with her frosting recipe a little and come up with a Mocha version.

prep time 1 Hr
cook time 10 Min
method No-Cook or Other

Ingredients For mocha frosting

  • 8 Tbsp
    butter, softened (1 stick)
  • 2 tsp
    vanilla extract

    coffee, strong
  • 3 c
    powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp
    cocoa, unsweetened

How To Make mocha frosting
