I want to try this, it’s just that I have been watching my calories and butter is 50 calories a pat , I wouldn’t be able to contain myself, I love coffee buttercream frosting.

[@MoonshineSunset]

although it's not quite a buttercream, you might want to check out emmymade's video called "Magic Coffe Whipped Cream", you only need coffee, water and optionally, white sugar. I make creamy coffee drinks that way but she uses it to top some chocolate brownies, so it might work for cakes too, since she let that sit out for 6 hours, and the coffee cream was still doing fine (:

[@AthiraDesigns]

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. Chef Mich can I use this coffee buttercream to add in between layers of a french dacquoise cake?

Hi! Is it stable? I live in a hot climate, and I'm concerned that it will melt quickly.

Can't I add the instant coffee that's added later on at the earlier step. 'cause I've got granules

[@ashima.kuriakose]

Would it still work if I replaced the heavy cream with milk? My mom's birthday is coming up and she loves coffee, but we ran out of heavy cream.

[@yhangsalas]

How about salted butter like dairy cream ?

[@b3rrysweet467]

i’m making a spice cake for my moms birthday and she loves coffee, this looks really good. do you think it would pair well with a spice cake?

[@MoonshineSunset]

you can always try making a test try before making the whole cake, maybe make 1/4 batch of cupcakes (the same recipe should work just fine for cupcakes) and decorate them with this coffee buttercream, they do that at a bakery here in my city, so we can try the cake before buying it c:

[@dessertalert9340]

I agree with Celina. I do think it would pair well but people have different recipes and it's best to sample it before going big! Let me know how it goes!

[@MoonshineSunset]

@@dessertalert9340 yes~ c:

[@flandre519]

would this be enough buttercream to frost an 8x2in 3 layer cake? if not, how much more of this buttercream would i need?

[@dessertalert9340]

For 3-8 inch layers, I feel like this would be enough. If you want to do more decoration, you may need more.

[@lovitasari8933]

@@dessertalert9340l

[@dessertalert9340]

Yes?

[@veniceangel82]

Can we store this buttercream after making it. Also how to store and how long it can be store. Do we need to put in the fridge

[@dessertalert9340]

My general guideline is 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months. 2 days room temperature, 2 weeks fridge, 2 months freezer. You can probably store it in the fridge or freezer for longer but the quality goes down. When pulling out of the fridge or freezer, let buttercream sit out for an hour or two and then re whip it for a great consistency.

[@athirson1000]

Hi! I see you've used 4 sticks (2 cups) of butter, that would be aprox how many grams? Thanks!

[@dessertalert9340]

1 cup of butter is 227 grams. So 2 cups would be 454 grams. Good luck! Let me know how it comes out 😊

[@randomfiles5835]

Can i mix this frosting with small cubes grass jelly? I want to make a frosting with grass jelly in it. Hope you notice my comment. Thankyou!

[@dessertalert9340]

I'm not entirely sure. I've never worked with grass jelly before. You can always make a small batch to try. Experimenting is half the fun! Let me know how it goes if you do try it 😊

[@rismaaprilia9105]

sorry, are you using instant coffe? if so, what brand do you use?

[@dessertalert9340]

Yes! I use Folgers instant coffee. It comes in a small box with packets inside. I prefer it that way so it doesn't go stale. I only use instant for baking.

[@dessertalert9340]

Thanks 🙂

[@Ellaine2015]

What will happen if w/o heavy cream?

[@dessertalert9340]

Heavy cream is what I use to change the consistency of the frosting. If it's a little too thick, I add a splash of cream. You could also just use milk.

[@cherryannoliva5404]

How about i don't have powdered sugar what ingredients can I buy?

[@dessertalert9340]

The best and only way I know how to substitute is to blend 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tsp of cornstarch or arrowroot powder in a food processor until fine. The would be for 1 cup of powdered sugar. Also known as icing sugar or confectioners sugar.

[@khushisrivastav7016]

All I have is salted butter. Can I use that?

[@dessertalert9340]

Sure! You can usually substitute salted butter but it may alter the taste or consistency of a recipe.

[@wasolaolawoye9673]

Is there a way to fix runny or soupy buttercream frosting

[@dessertalert9340]

It highly depends on what caused the frosting to be soupy. Add some more powdered sugar to thicken it up, a little at a time. If that doesn't work, chill it for 5 minutes and mix to see it if firms back up. Repeat if necessary. May I ask how this happened?

[@wasolaolawoye9673]

@@dessertalert9340 hey thanks for the reply I used the correct measurements but I used a lighter soft butter which had not a lot of fat.so to resolve it I bought another one

[@dessertalert9340]

Thank you for letting me know! I'm very happy you reached a resolution 🙂

[@anmolrajwani8596]

Is this overly sweet or just enough to balance out dark chocolate cupcakes

[@dessertalert9340]

Personally, I think they are perfect for balancing out the flavors. You can always control the amount of frosting you want when you pipe it. But everybody has different preferences. Please let me know what you think of it!

[@anmolrajwani8596]

It was absolutely delicious... I made the butter cream for my birthday yesterday ... so creamy and balanced out the flavours perfectly tysssm

[@dessertalert9340]

Thank you and happy birthday! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelwaller8275]

how much is a cup! can we have weights for ingredients please gms or oz , ml or fl oz but not cups, pinches,nips or a little bit please.

[@bittersprout3694]

Sorry, didn't quite catch where you used the heavy cream

[@dessertalert9340]

I mixed heavy cream and instant coffee and then added it.

[@kayinstyle4026]

is that sugar is icing?

[@kayinstyle4026]

i mean dry powder sugar =icing? thank you i m a beginner just learning :)

[@dessertalert9340]

Yes, powdered sugar is also called icing sugar in some countries.

[@nadineumutoni6654]

Can we reduce powed sugar?it can't affect the frosting on cake?

[@dessertalert9340]

You can cut down a little bit. If you reduce too much, it'll just taste like butter. Not using enough sugar can also cause the frosting to be a bit runny and it'll be hard to decorate. Just add a cup of sugar at a time and taste it. Keep adding until it tastes right to you.

[@nadineumutoni6654]

@@dessertalert9340 thank you so much

[@jmba_9713]

I made it and here is my review: It was good but at when you taste it at the end it tastes sour and I made it Excatly like yours and it was so sugary but it was good!

[@dessertalert9340]

Thank you for the honest review! I'm not really sure what ingredient could be making your buttercream sour and I wish I could try it because I'm genuinely curious. I'm glad you thought it was good!

[@jmba_9713]

@@dessertalert9340 yea I’m pretty sure theirs nothing wrong with your buttercream cause my buttercream always comes out sour haha

[@dessertalert9340]

What ingredients/ brands do you use? Maybe I can help.

[@RHC-JalanJalanRandom]

5 to 6 cup of sugar?? That's mean more than 1000grm of sugar😰, can i make it less?

[@dessertalert9340]

You can use less if you would like but it may change the consistency of the frosting. It should be between 575 grams and 690 grams. Powdered sugar is much lighter than others solids and I highly recommend sifting before you weigh in order to incorporate more air into the mixture.

[@dessertalert9340]

1 cup of sifted powdered sugar is 115 grams.
