Frosting: Mocha Butter Cream

By bethz

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee, dissolved in a splash of hot water

Preparation

Step 1

In your mixer, beat the softened butter with the powdered sugar until it is creamy.

Add in the cocoa powder, vanilla extract & coffee.

Beat with the mixer until it's nice and fluffy (about a minute or 2)

This makes a perfectly spreadable frosting. The nice thing about it is that you can put it in the fridge to make it a little more firm if you would like.
