Ingredients

  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup cold strong coffee, approximately

Directions

  1. Remove lumps from both sugar and cocoa by placing the measured ingredients into a sieve set over a bowl; push and rub with the back of a spoon or rubber spatula. Mix the sugar and cocoa together with a spatula.
  2. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the vanilla and salt. Add the sugar-cocoa mixture all at once and mix until almost blended. Beat in as much of the coffee as needed to make a smooth, spreadable frosting.
  3. Makes 1 3/4 cups or enough to frost 18 cupcakes generously.
