Chocolate Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals stirring after each melting for 1 to 3 minutes. Cool melted chocolate to room temperature about 5 minutes.

Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add cocoa powder and beat until well combined. Mix 1 tablespoon coffee into creamed butter mixture; add melted chocolate and mix well.

Beat confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time into creamed butter mixture mixing well before each addition until frosting is smooth. Add remaining coffee 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
