Coffee Frosting for People Who Don’t Like Frosting, Or The Frosting That Convinced My Husband to Marry Me<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don’t like coffee, hear me out about this buttercream frosting recipe. You wouldn’t know it’s made with coffee if I didn’t tell you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s true. I have had many people taste it, swoon, and ask what it’s made of. When I say “coffee,” they make a face and tell me they don’t like coffee. But they do like this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is hands-down the frosting I make for every occasion. It’s rich and sweet and soft and fluffy but holds its shape perfectly when piped. It’s a recipe handed down in my family, used to frost a specific kind of cake called a Sunshine Cake (Sunshine Cake is made with a dozen eggs and is NOT my a favorite — but its killer frosting makes up for the eggy cake taste).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s not hyperbole: I made this frosting to top a pan of brownies early into dating #DoneWithFun Daddy, and he was so taken with them, I’m pretty sure he basically decided to marry me on the spot. Think about that next time you are trying to decide which frosting to go with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Of course, he didn’t propose until a year later … but I digress.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, over the years, I’ve completely abandoned the Sunshine Cake from my repertoire but I’ve held fast to this buttercream recipe. It’s great on chocolate cake. It’s great on vanilla cake. It’s great on brownies. It’s great on a graham cracker or off of a spoon straight into your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s the perfect topper for my Coffee & Donuts cupcakes I made this weekend for my father-in-law’s birthday — I’ll be sharing that recipe here later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
