Boiled Mocha Coffee Frosting Put one cup ground coffee in a coffee pot, add two cups hot water, let stand until it draws. Put one cup granulated sugar with five tablespoons of strong coffee in a saucepan on the stove; let cook until it ropes. In the meantime, beat the whites of two 434 THE SWEDISH, FRENCH, eggs to a stiff froth, add the sugar immediately, beat it very rap¬ idly, then add a little more coffee and one tablespoon brandy, be careful not to let the frosting get too thick as then it would look coarse and heavy. Mocha Coffee Water Frosting Put one cup ground coffee in a coffee pot on the stove, add two cups hot water, let stand until it draws. Put two tablespoons of the strong coffee in a bowl. Sift one and a half pounds con¬ fectionery sugar two or three times, then add it very slowly — a teaspoon at a time — beating very fast. When it gets too thick, add a little coffee, a few drops brandy, and more sugar; repeat this until the sugar is added and the frosting of the right consist¬ ence. Butter Mocha Coffee Frosting Take half cup butter, wash well in cold water, press the water out, stir in a bowl until creamy. Add two cups sifted confec¬ tionery sugar, then coffee, and so on until the frosting is of the right consistence — take care not to let it curl. If it begins to look as if turning, add more sugar and leave the coffee out. If the shade should not be sufficiently dark, color with a little kitchen bouquet. This is an excellent frosting for a butter mocha cake and for little individual mocha cakes. Can be used for the filling as well as for the frosting. How to Make the Coffee Put one cup ground coffee in a coffee pot on the stove with one cup boiling water, let stand to draw. Then add another cup boil¬ ing water and let stand from ten to fifteen minutes. Put one and a half cups coffee on the stove to boil, thicken with an even table¬ spoon cornstarch dissolved in a little water. Stir on ice until cold. Royal Frosting Sift two cups powdered or confectionery sugar until very light. Beat the whites of two eggs
