Delicious
Tried this recipe twice and it went wrong. made my own recipe and it went soooo much better. this needs serious help.
Very good but, I suggest doubling the coffee . Was to weak at least for my taste.
It was amazing!! It went perfect with the Chocolate Mocha Cake I Recipe. But i kind of winged it with the coffee because in my opinion more coffee the better!
It was FANTASTIC!!!!! Everyone LOVED IT!!!
I found it really tasty, but reading the reviews, I started with 2 cups of sugar and decided I would add more if need. Two cups was PLENTY for me and even my wife who really loves sweets.
I loved the consistency. It made for a great looking cake. That being said, it was sweet. I wasn’t able to finish my slice of cake because of how overly sweet it was.
I’m giving it 5 stars even though I agree with some who think it has too much powdered sugar. But I’ve made it a few times now and I think using espresso powder, plus strong coffee in place of the milk, gives it a much better balance. Still sweet but strong on the mocha flavor. If you love coffee and chocolate I think you’ll love it too, especially on a rich dark chocolate cake.
Didn’t make any changes and it was pretty good. Makes a HUGE amount (for me not a frosting fan). Used a little more than half of it on a 9×13 cake and was GOOD. Very sweet, so that’s why didn’t use the whole recipe.
This is my new favorite chocolate cake frosting. It has a nice hint of coffee flavoring mixed in with the chocolate taste. I will definitely use this recipe again and again. Who needs those tub frostings when you can get a flavor this rich from a few extra minutes of cooking? Yum!
I can’t get enough chocolate or sweet stuff so this icing was perfect for me. I had some half & half in the fridge so I used it rather than regular milk. Delicious!
It was hard to taste the coffee. I had to add more coffee than recommended. Overall it was ok
I just made it to go along with a chocolate fudge cake. Over all it was amazing. But. When it comes to the icing sugar there is just way too much on this recipe. I would like to know where the creator got 5 cups from, because I only had 4 cups of it and with that I only used maybe~ 2 cups and it was just sweet enough. other than that it is great. amazing flavor, perfect thickness and texture. nice colour. love it.
At first it was clumpy and had no coffee taste, it was like thick paste. So we added more milk and coffee, It was PERFECT!
I was expecting a SEMI SWEET frosting, but I got a super sweet batch!! It was tasty, but a bit over sweet. I would recommend cutting back on the sugar.
The butter clumped.I had to strain this twice because the butter was there in disgusting pieces. Taste is nice, but will look for a better recipe. Or maybe I did something wrong.
Didn’t even taste like chocolate OR coffee just tasted like sugar) so had to add more of everything by taste and only then did it turn out acceptable.
Ummm, I would think that there’s still enough of the cocoa in there for this to be considered a mocha frosting if not only.
Loved this frosting! A sweet compliment to any cake, and super easy to make!
Pretty good recipe! I used instant espresso powder in place of instant coffee and I added a little more milk. very yummy. Holds well.
Excellent!
