COFFEE MOCHA ICING



Coffee Mocha Icing image

Makes a great topper for brownies, or double the recipe for a larger cake. If you like a really strong coffee flavor add in 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules to the already brewed hot coffee, then stir until dissolved, or just use boiled water with instant coffee granules, make certain the coffee is cooled before using for this recipe. This icing freezes well.

COFFEE AND MOCHA BUTTERCREAMS



Coffee and Mocha Buttercreams image

This is called a meringue buttercream because its foundation is egg whites, not the more traditional yolks. That makes it very light, satiny, and easy to spread-a plus if you're making a many-layered cake like the one in the preceding recipe. The base for this buttercream yields two different-flavored frostings: espresso coffee and bittersweet-chocolate mocha.

Yield Makes about 5 cups coffee-flavored and 2 1/2 cups mocha flavored

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sugar, divided
3/4 cup water
6 large egg whites at room temperature 30 minutes
2 tablspoons plus 1 teaspoon instant-espresso powder
1 tablspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 sticks (1 1/2 pounds) unsalted butter, cut into tablspoon pieces and softened
6 ounces fine-quality 60%-cacao bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled to lukewarm
Equipment: a candy thermometer; a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment
a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment

Steps:

  • Bring 1 3/4 cups sugar and water to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then wash down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil, without stirring, until it registers 220 to 225°F, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • At this point, while continuing to boil syrup, beat whites with espresso powder, vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt in mixer at medium speed until they just hold soft peaks. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating, and beat until whites just hold stiff peaks.
  • When syrup reaches soft-ball stage (238 to 242°F), immediately pour syrup in a slow stream down side of bowl into whites (avoid beaters) while beating at high speed. Beat until completely cool, 25 to 30 minutes. With mixer at medium speed, add butter 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition (see cooks' note, below) and until buttercream is smooth. (Mixture may look curdled before all butter is added but will come together at end.)
  • Transfer 2 cups buttercream to a small bowl and stir in chocolate. If buttercreams are too soft to spread, chill, stirring occasionally.
