Mocha frosting

One more frosting recipe worth sharing! This was the crowd favorite at my 40th birthday cupcake & wine tasting party! Pair with Chocolate cupcakes and you have a winner. MMMMMMM mocha.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup Butter
4 cups Confectioners Sugar
3 Tbsp Cocoa
1 tsp Instant Coffee
1 tsp Vanilla
4-5 Tbsp Water
Directions:
In a separate bowl, whisk together confectioners sugar, cocoa, and instant coffee (like Starbucks Via). Using a mixer, cream butter (room temperature), and slowly add in dry mixture on a low speed. Stir in vanilla and water to reach desired consistency at medium speed.
