I don't like coffee and I could eat a whole spoonful. Really nice, fluffy buttercream - and it might just be the instant coffee I'm using - but I've had to add double the amount of coffee and even now it's bordering. 26 July 2020 5 star rating perfect recipe 22 June 2020 4 star rating yes it is very good if you want you can use coffee esence instead. 04 May 2020 5 star rating Wonderful recipe 22 April 2020 3 star rating Noice 01 April 2020 4 star rating it was very yum and easy However, you should note that when adding the coffee it will easily become runny, so add a little more icing sugar. But it was great overall. 24 February 2020 5 star rating Easy to follow and a good strong coffee flavour. Simple to split the receipt to make less.
