This boiled flour frosting with added chocolate and coffee flavour, goes best with the chocolate cup cake and is a treat to all mocha lovers.

1. Chop the chocolate and transfer it to a heat proof bowl. Place this heat proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and keep stirring until it is melted.

3. Mix the milk, sugar, flour and cream in a heavy bottomed pan and place it over a stove on high flame.
4. Once boiled, simmer and keep stirring for 20 minutes.
5. Cool and transfer the mixture to the bowl of the stand mixer or (if using an electric hand mixer transfer to a convenient bowl).

7. Add the chocolate and the coffee powder and beat again until stiff peaks form.
8. Spoon the frosting into piping bags with desired nozzle and decorate your favourite cakes. You could as well use this frosing for spreading and covering the cakes.
