INGREDIENTS:

340g butter, softened

1 cup unsweetened cocoa

5 cups pure icing sugar

½ cup milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

½ teaspoon instant coffee powder/granules

METHOD:

Add butter to a large bowl or bowl of stand mixer & beat until pale & smooth.

Sift cocoa & icing sugar into a bowl & set aside.

Once the butter is pale add sugar/cocoa mix and milk to butter by adding 1 cup of sugar/cocoa followed by about a tablespoon of milk. After each addition has been combined, turn mixer onto a high speed for about a minute. Repeat until all sugar/cocoa and milk have been added.

Add vanilla extract and coffee powder and combine well.

If frosting appears too dry, add more milk, a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency. If it appears to wet and does not hold its form, add more pure icing sugar, a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency.


Enjoy! xxx
