The other day, my mom came over to celebrate her 50th birthday with us. She has been gluten-free for a few months now, which has been a fun challenge for me to come up with things to cook that she can eat. For her birthday cake, I used a GF chocolate cake mix that I bought at the store. It was actually really delicious! It was a Pamela's Product and you wouldn't even miss the gluten! Since I used a mix, I really wanted to make frosting from scratch. I couldn't decide what kind to make to go with chocolate cake and then I remembered how much my mom loved espresso. This is a delicious, sweet frosting with the subtle flavor of rich Italian espresso!
Espresso Frosting
1 stick salted real butter, softened
1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4-1/2 cup brewed espresso at room temperature
Whip together the butter and marshmallow fluff. Add powdered sugar about 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with the espresso until the desired flavor and consistency is reached.
