This Sinfully Delicious Mocha Buttercream Frosting Recipe is so decadent, you will want to eat it with a spoon, but, try to have some control and pair it with my Choco-Spice Layer Cake. It will be worth the wait. I promise!

My husband is crazy for frosting. He loves cake. We have a running joke about cake. Maybe I will tell you one day. I love baking cakes and enjoy them sans frosting. However, I do love a butter cream frosting. This frosting will not disappoint.
