Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the hot water. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating between the two, while continuing to beat on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Add the dissolved coffee mixture, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on medium speed until combined.
Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while beating the frosting until light, fluffy, and smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding a bit more cream if needed.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness or coffee flavor to preference by adding a bit more powdered sugar or dissolved coffee, if desired.
Spread or pipe the frosting onto your cooled cake or cupcakes. Enjoy!
