Chocolate and Coffee Buttercream Frosting

This recipe makes enough frosting for the cupcakes I posted in the last recipe. I used soy cream, which doesn’t harden as much as regular dairy cream, so I spread this on the cupcakes rather than piping it from an icing bag. It still looks and tastes great, though.

Ingredients:
100 g butter
2 tbsp milk or cream (cream makes it richer; I used soy cream this time)
4 tbsp cold coffee (or more if you want a stronger coffee flavour)
1/3 cup cocoa
1 cup icing sugar

Instructions:
1. In a mixer, mix the butter, cream, coffee, and cocoa together until pretty smooth.
2. Add the icing sugar, about ¼ cup at a time. Mix well.
3. Taste and add more cream or vanilla if needed.
4. Frost the cupcakes (or cake) with the frosting.
