Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.3333 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Brewed coffee (cooled)
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Gradually add the cooled brewed coffee, 1 tablespoon at a time, while stirring continuously. Adjust the consistency to your liking—use less liquid for a thicker frosting or more for a thinner spread.
Once the frosting is smooth and creamy, taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa levels, if needed, by adding more powdered sugar or cocoa powder in small increments.
Spread the frosting evenly over your Crazy Cake or any other baked goods of choice. Use a spatula or knife to create swirls and peaks for extra texture and visual appeal.
Allow the frosting to set for 10-15 minutes before serving for best results.
