FUDGY MOCHA FROSTING W/PECANS--OR HAZELNUT COFFEE FROSTING!
A quick basic cocoa frosting that isn't overly sweet -- I like it with toasted pecans! Make it mocha by adding instant coffee granules -- or leave out the pecans, and add the coffee granules, hazelnut extract and 1/2 cup hazelnut spread to make a hazelnut coffee frosting! (SEE NOTE) This frosting can be used on Recipe #285364 :) and is a great addition to Recipe #266977 :)

Steps:
- In a hot dry iron skillet, TOAST pecans, stirring constantly until very fragrant ~ be careful not to burn! Chop pecans and set aside ~.
- In saucepan, combine butter, milk cocoa, OPTIONAL coffee granules, and dash of salt. Bring just to a boil, and stir until smooth.
- Remove from heat and quickly add confectioners sugar ~ beating well.
- Add vanilla (or hazelnut extract) and TOASTED pecans, chopped (or hazelnut spread).
- Quickly spread on cake while frosting is still warm, or thin with 1 tablespoon milk if frosting begins to stiffen too quickly, or for spreading on a layer cake!
- NOTE: Make HAZELNUT COFFEE FROSTING by adding 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules to melted butter/cocoa mixture, hazelnut extract, and substituting 1/2 cup hazelnut spread for the chopped pecans. Thin with 1 tablespoon milk, if necessary for easier spreading!
