Read my review of this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder, dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3 to 4 tablespoons milk or cream
Directions:
Whisk together sugar and cocoa in a medium bowl. Combine espresso and vanilla.
Beat butter at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar mixture alternately with coffee mixture, beating at low speed until blended. Beat in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth and mixture has reached desired consistency.
Makes enough icing to cover a 9×13 cake.
