6 ounces Semisweet chocolate
2 sticks Unsalted butter ; room temperature
1 extra large Egg yolk ; room temperature
1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups Confectioners sugar ; sifted
1 tablespoon Instant coffee powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Chop the chocolate and place it in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until just melted and set aside until cooled to room temperature.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until light yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and continue beating for 3 minutes. Turn the mixer to low, gradually add the confectioners' sugar, then beat at medium speed, scraping down the bowl as necessary, until smooth and creamy. Dissolve the coffee powder in 2 teaspoons of the hottest tap water. On low speed, add the chocolate and coffee to the butter mixture and mix until blended. Don't whip! Spread immediately on the cooled cake.
