For a richer coffee flavor, try using espresso powder instead of brewed coffee. Start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more to taste. The quality of your cocoa powder will impact the final flavor. Dutch-processed cocoa powder provides a smoother, less bitter taste. Make sure your butter is truly softened, but not melted. This is key to achieving a light and airy frosting. This frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Let it come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
