Ingredients
For the Buttercream:
- 2 cups butter unsalted 454g
- 2 lb confectioners sugar 907g
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp espresso powder
- 1 tbsp vanilla 15mL
- 3 tbsp heavy cream 45mL
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
For the Mocha Buttercream:
- Sift the confectioners’ sugar, salt, cocoa and espresso powder into a bowl.
- Whip the butter for about 5 minutes using a paddle attachment (in a standing mixer).
- Beat in the sugar mixture slowly.
- Add vanilla and drizzle in the cream while beating until desired consistency is reached. If the you want the buttercream to have a stronger espresso taste, add as much as you would like!
Notes
- Sift the cocoa powder, and powdered sugar before adding to the butter. Both can hav lumps that will clog piping tips and disturb the consistency.
- If your buttercream has a grainy texture add a tablespoon of cream and mix. Keep adding cream, or coffee if desired while mixing until the consistency is to your satisfaction.
- If possible, use a high-quality Dutch processed cocoa powder.
- Don't have unsalted butter on hand? Use salted butter and skip that 1/2 tsp. You can add additional salt to taste at the end if needed.
