Coffee Cake Frosting Recipe
Combine the instant coffee with the water, stirring gently to ensure a smooth dissolution of the granules. Combine the butter in a mixing bowl and process using an electric mixer until it reaches a silky consistency. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, incorporating one cup at a time, allowing each addition to fully dissolve before proceeding with the next. Beating until well combined. Combining the vanilla and coffee extracts, I thoroughly whisked them together to ensure a seamless blend.
As you slowly pour in the cream, continuously beat the frosting with a steady motion to ensure a smooth and silky texture. The frosting should be airy and silky, with a consistency that’s just right for spreading evenly. Carefully spread the velvety frosting evenly over the completely cooled cake.

COOK’S NOTE: To achieve the desired flavor, I recommend using approximately one 0.11-ounce tube of high-quality instant coffee from the renowned brand for every 1.5-teaspoon serving specified in this recipe.
Adjust the powdered sugar-to-cream ratio to achieve your desired consistency, adding more sugar for a thicker frosting or cream for a lighter one.

While slowly pouring in the cream, continue to beat the frosting until well combined and smooth. The frosting should be airy and ethereally light, with a texture that’s as gentle as a whisper. Apply a uniform layer of frosting to the completely cooled cake.
