Don’t have Crisco. Can I use all butter? I’ve made this with Crisco and it turned out great. But I don’t have any at this time. Please let me know. Thanks, Rita

I used expresso powder for the coffee 1TBSP +4 TBSP hot water, let it cool, then measured the 4TBSPs for the recipe. – Perfect. This icing turned out great!

In reply to rebecca whitbourn. When you measure out powdered sugar, there is a lot of air in it - it's not packed tightly or anything. But when you mix it with the wet ingredients, it becomes a lot more dense. I hope that makes more sense.

I made this recipe for between the layers of a wedding shower cake and everyone raved! I don’t remember if I doubled the recipe or not but now, for the baby shower, of same couple, I have been asked to make the same cake with the specific request of the mocha frosting so I intend on frosting the whole thing with this recipe and I’m not sure if I need to triple or quadruple it or what. My question is this… It says it makes about 3 cups, but how can that be when it calls for 1 cup of cocoa and 4 cups of confectioner’s sugar? Does it reduce that much? Thank you for a great recipe.

Though i am a coffee-holic, i decided to experiment using peanut butter. With a heaping tsp of natural peanut butter, i slowly incorporated hot, bowling water making a slurry that equaled 4 tbsp.
Chocolate and peanut butter are made for each other

In reply to Roshini. I wish I could give you an exact measurement... Since I don't actually drink coffee or make it, I usually just get my hubby to make it for me and tell him I need it strong!

The recipe Sounds great. Would you mind giving details on how much coffee to use? (what I mean is how many teaspoons of coffee & hot water to make up your strong brew coffee – I have Nescafe in my kitchen)

Girl, I don’t know what to think of those nutrition figures… I don’t have anything to do with that but surely it’s calculated for the whole recipe and not a serving!! If not… I don’t need to EVER make this again 😉
