Know a coffee lover who also happen to be a chocoholic? They'll swoon over cupcakes (or whole cakes) made with this marvelous mocha frosting. Instant espresso is the secret ingredient for the irresistible flavor.

OMG!! LOVE this recipe, its so easy and delicious! A lot of the other mocha buttercreams I found had required milk and I didn't want to use milk. I like my frostings a little less sweet so I used only 3 1/2 cups of powered sugar but the I still got the perfect consistency to decorate my chocolate cupcakes. This is a keeper!!
