FUDGY MOCHA FROSTING W/PECANS--OR HAZELNUT COFFEE FROSTING!
A quick basic cocoa frosting that isn't overly sweet -- I like it with toasted pecans! Make it mocha by adding instant coffee granules -- or leave out the pecans, and add the coffee granules, hazelnut extract and 1/2 cup hazelnut spread to make a hazelnut coffee frosting! (SEE NOTE) This frosting can be used on Recipe #285364 :) and is a great addition to Recipe #266977 :)

- Remove from heat and quickly add confectioners sugar ~ beating well.

- Quickly spread on cake while frosting is still warm, or thin with 1 tablespoon milk if frosting begins to stiffen too quickly, or for spreading on a layer cake!
