Coffee Buttercream
I love testing out Chocolate Frosting recipes. I mean, you really can’t go wrong with chocolate buttercream right? This one does not disappoint! Chocolate frosting infused with pure coffee flavor. If you love enhanced chocolate richness, this is the frosting for you!
What Kind of Coffee Should I Use in Buttercream?
I like a really strong cup of black coffee in this recipe. However, you can use whatever strength you prefer as well as use a decaf.
You can also use espresso powder, I recommend between 1-2 teaspoons in this recipe.
How to Decorate This Cake
I used a Russian Tip that was a small rosette design. I filled up my piping bags (don’t forget to double bag!) and simply piped all over the top and sides of this cake. You really can’t mess it up!

Are your recipes available in a book?
What tip was used to make the roses on the outside of the cake? Great recipe!
This is very similar to the icing my mother used on her Moca Cake. It has 8 teaspoons of vanilla and e teaspoons of coffee. It is the only chocolate cake she made. Other chocolate icings just aren’t the same.
Looks awesome! Those tips are available from amazon. Russian tips. I bought a bunch.
The only problem I have with your recipe is that I do not like the taste of nor drink coffee. I love anything that is dark chocolate so I am sure that I would like one of your other recipes better!
