My husband for years have talked about Mocha Frosting that a family member use to make every year for his birthday. Now I normally epically fail at making frosting, a few years ago I tried to make home made vanilla buttercream and it came out like soup, NO joke! But this year for his birthday I was able to get the recipe from said family member and make it. I was surprised at how easy it was to make!
1 box of Confectioners Sugar
1/2 cup of baking cocoa
1/2 cup of coffee(the family member who use to make it would get it at the gas station or local coffee shop and let it cool, I used my Keurig to brew just one cup, either works fine)
6 tablespoons of margarine(Butter works fine too, my husband prefers it with margarine)
1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract
*I highly suggest having extra confectioners sugar on hand, Iv learned this trick after years of ending up with soupy frosting and having to run to the store for me*
I personally make frosting by hand but if you have more experience or are more confident then I am, you can use a mixer
1) Mix coffee and cocoa in bowl, whisk until well blended, mix remaining ingredients into coffee/cocoa mixture. Spread on Cake and Enjoy!
sounds wonderful, will definately try it
