• Yields: 3 cups

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 2 teaspoons instant coffee
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

directions

1. Blend butter, egg, cocoa, coffee, salt.
2. Add sugar alternately with milk and vanilla.
3. Beat until smooth. If too thick, add 1/2 teaspoons milk at a time.
4. If making in hot weather, try using less milk as the icing will run and get too soft. Also, after icing do not cover tightly as this can cause the icing to run.
