Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup hottest tap water
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Droste Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
2/3 cup half-and-half
Mocha Frosting, recipe follows
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, such as Lindt, 1/4-inch-chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon Kahlua
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
  • Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl. On medium speed, add the vanilla, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  • Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl or a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the hot water, cocoa powder, and espresso powder until smooth. Add the half-and-half and whisk until smooth. With the mixer on low, add the flour and chocolate mixtures alternately in thirds, starting and ending with the flour. With a rubber spatula, scrape down the bowl to be sure the batter is well mixed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan. Turn out onto a flat platter or board and frost the top with the Mocha Frosting. Cut in squares and serve.
  • Place the chocolate, butter, and espresso powder in a bowl. Heat the cream to simmer and pour it over the chocolate mixture, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted. (If the chocolate isn't melted, microwave the mixture for 15 seconds.) Stir in the Kahlua and vanilla and stir until the mixture is smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes only, until cool but not cold.
  • Scrape down the bowl and beat the frosting with a handheld mixer on high speed for 15 to 20 seconds only, until the mixture forms soft peaks. (If you overbeat it, it will curdle!) Spread on the cake immediately with a metal spatula.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Buttercream Frosting Recipes

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup water
5 large egg whites
Pinch of cream of tartar
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
8 ounces semi- or bittersweet chocolate
1 tablespoon instant-espresso granules
1 teaspoon hot water

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar and water to a boil. Continue to boil until syrup reaches soft-ball stage, 238 degrees on a candy thermometer.
  • Meanwhile, beat egg whites on low speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and beat on medium high until stiff but not dry.
  • With mixer running, pour syrup into egg whites in a steady stream and beat on high speed until steam is no longer visible, about 3 minutes. Add butter bit by bit. After all the butter has been added, beat for 3 to 5 minutes, until smooth and spreadable. If the icing looks curdled at any point during the beating process, don't panic: keep beating and it will smooth out.
  • Melt and cool chocolate. Stir into the beaten buttercream, along with the instant-espresso granules dissolved in hot water.

THE BEST MOCHA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING / ICING



The Best Mocha Buttercream Frosting / Icing image

This is definitely the best frosting I have ever had. I am in love with it! Perfect texture....nothing like store bought! It is wonderful on everything!!!

Provided by KirstenSU04

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Yield 1 12, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons instant coffee, dissolved in a splash of hot water

Steps:

  • In your mixer, beat the softened butter with the powdered sugar until it is creamy.
  • Add in the cocoa powder, vanilla extract & coffee.
  • Beat with the mixer until it's nice and fluffy (about a minute or 2)
  • This makes a perfectly spreadable frosting. The nice thing about it is that you can put it in the fridge to make it a little more firm if you would like.

Tips:

- For a richer mocha flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder. - Add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder to the frosting for an even more intense coffee flavor. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. - To make a chocolate ganache, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until it is just simmering. Remove from heat and add 8 ounces of finely chopped semisweet chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Let cool slightly before using. - For a fun twist, try adding a tablespoon of your favorite liqueur, such as Kahlua or Bailey's Irish Cream, to the frosting.

Conclusion:

Mocha frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
