Mocha Frosting
1/4 c. butter
2 T. dry cocoa
2 tsp. instant coffee powder
Dash salt
2 1/2 c. sifted powdered sugar
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
Milk to make spreading consistency

Cream together butter, cocoa, coffee, & salt; beat in sugar, then vanilla, then just enough milk so frosting is spreadable. This was in my '72 Better Homes & Gardens, so might be the one you want...hope so !
