Espresso-Scotch Frosting

By Hklbrries

"If you ever need a subtle change for a basic recipe, think espresso."

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup (2 ounces) brewed espresso, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup (2 ounces) Scotch whiskey
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Cream the butter. Add the brown sugar and continue creaming until smooth. Mix the whiskey and espresso in a cup. Add the confectioners' sugar to the creamed mixture alternately with the whiskey and espresso liquid. Use as a filling between split layers of a 7-inch baker's sponge cake and as frosting for outside a bundt cake.
