Steps:
- Prepare the strong-brewed coffee and set it aside. You can make some using a coffee maker or one part instant coffee and one part hot water. You can also use a shot of espresso.
- Pour the powdered sugar through a sieve into a bowl. This will break up any clumps that might be in the sugar, resulting in a smoother texture when you finish.
- Mix in the strongly-brewed coffee. Pour the coffee into the sugar while mixing the sugar briskly with a fork or a small whisk. You will get a thick, syrup-like consistency.
- Pour the glaze over your cake, cupcake, or pastry. Work quickly, as this glaze will harden up.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan. Line and butter two 18cm sandwich tins. Add the sugar and butter to a bowl and whisk until very fluffy and pale.
- Whisk the eggs in a mug with a fork, then add them gradually to the mixture with 1 tbsp of flour each time. (Make sure you don't use all the flour.) When the eggs have been fully combined into the mix, add the rest of the flour and fold it in gently.
- Add the dissolved coffee to the mixture, still folding. Divide into the sandwich tins and cook for 25-30 min until risen and firm and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Can be frozen at this stage.
- Meanwhile, make the icing by beating the icing sugar with the butter until light and fluffy, then add the dissolved coffee. Whisk, then cover and set aside until ready to ice the cake.
- Spread half the icing on the bottom of one sponge and spread the strawberry jam on the bottom of the other, if using. Sandwich together, then spread the remaining icing on top. Decorate with walnuts or cherries, if you like.

INCREDIBLE AND EASY CHOCOLATE-COFFEE FROSTING
I took this recipe from the Ghiradelli cocoa mix box and altered it a bit. I tend to find frosting recipes sickeningly sweet. This one is delicious and just the right sweetness, with a great mocha flavor. This recipe makes enough to cover the tops and sides of 2 9-inch rounds. Try it with the "Better than Box Cake" yellow cake recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 cupcake cups with liners.
- Mix together 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon for cupcakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt, and baking soda in another bowl until combined.
- Cream together butter and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in egg and vanilla and mix an additional 2 minutes. Pour in half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Pour in buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined.
- Place 1 tablespoon of batter in the bottom of each cupcake liner. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon-sugar over the batter. Add another heaped 1 tablespoon of batter on top. Sprinkle with an additional 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat layering in each cupcake liner.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes spring back lightly when touched, 24 to 28 minutes. Allow to cool for several minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting: Beat butter on high speed until lightened in color, about 2 minutes. Add in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.

Tips:
- Use strong coffee. The stronger the coffee, the more flavorful the icing will be. If you're using instant coffee, dissolve it in a small amount of hot water before adding it to the icing.
- Add a little bit of salt. Salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the icing and makes it taste more complex.
- Don't overbeat the icing. Overbeating can make the icing thick and grainy. Beat it just until it is smooth and creamy.
- Use the icing immediately. Coffee icing is best when it is fresh. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Coffee icing is a delicious and easy way to add a touch of flavor to your favorite cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a rich and creamy icing that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new icing recipe, give coffee icing a try. You won't be disappointed!
