Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or hazelnuts
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Slowly pour in the cooled brewed coffee while continuing to mix. Beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and salt, and mix for another minute to incorporate the flavors evenly.
Using a spatula, fold in the chopped pecans or hazelnuts gently, ensuring they are distributed throughout the frosting.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or brownies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
