I took this recipe from the Ghiradelli cocoa mix box and altered it a bit. I tend to find frosting recipes sickeningly sweet. This one is delicious and just the right sweetness, with a great mocha flavor. This recipe makes enough to cover the tops and sides of 2 9-inch rounds. Try it with the Better than Box Cake yellow cake recipe. Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter |
4 1/2 tablespoons whole milk |
3/4 cup cocoa powder (i recommend ghiradelli) |
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 dash salt |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 teaspoons dry instant coffee |
Directions:
1. Place butter, milk, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over low heat.
2. Stir mixture until all the butter has just melted.
3. Remove from heat and add the vanilla and salt.
4. Sift in the confectioner's sugar and ground coffee.
5. Mix until smooth.
6. Cool to room temperature and frost away!
