This was great on a peanut butter cake! I decided that I wanted a little more coffee taste so I ground 3 coffee beans added them to the recipe and OMG it was a little slice of heaven!

Thanks so much! Great easy recipe! I doubled the recipe since I was making a layered 9 inch chocolate cake. And I added more coffee b/c we are coffee lovers here and I could barely taste it in the original recipe. Also...it helped to thin it out more...my frosting was really thick initially...But turned out great and had plenty of frosting left over.

This frosting is tasty but it's missing something.

I am using this as the frosting for Cake Balls by Allison. I followed suggestions and decreased the sugar to 1 cup. I needed a more intense flavor to use in the cake balls so I used 3T. cocoa, 3T. coffee, 3T. kahlua. Very good!

I love this recipe. I originally found this exact same recipe in the American Woman's Cookbook published in 1938 by Consolidated Book Publishers, Inc. For a 9 inch round layer cake, I increase each ingredient by 1.5 to have enough frosting.

so tasty and you dont even need an electric mixer! The recipe yields enough to do a thin layer over a two layer cake.

I added 4 tablespoons of coffee and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder because 1 tablespoon of flavor simply isn't enough for me, and because the coffee wasn't that strong anyway. Turns out I added too much, because the frosting didn't end up as a frosting, it ended up being a glaze. Which isn't really a big deal because they ended up tasting AMAZING with the Cinnamon Mocha Cupcakes I made (also from this website). They had the perfect amount of coffee, and my friend LOVED the Cinnamon Mocha Cupcakes that I made for her birthday! Will definitely make again!
