Here is a chocolate and coffee frosting, that I use on my cakes cakes. This frosting has a great texture and can be spread easily. You don't even need a set of scales for this one.
Ingredients:
1 tsp coffee crystals
1/4 cup milk or cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder
5 cups caster sugar
6 tbs butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Preparation:
Blend everything together until smooth and spreadable. Makes enough for a 13x9 cake.
Once you have tried this, you will love it!
