This is an amazing recipe! I was searching for the perfect mocha frosting that was tasty but light, and I've found it. I could eat this frosting all day long!

Wow is this greattttt frosting!! I was looking for a fluffy frosting recipe and this is perfect. Thank you verrrry much Kirsten for sharing it! I think I'll see if shortening is lower fat and substitute some of the butter with it. Next time I'll make sure not to chill the cake before serving though, it gets a bit too firm, it's much nicer not so firm. Very tasty!
