MOCHA FILLING AND ICING
A rich but much liked filling for small cakes
is made by boiling one cup of sugar and one-half cup of very strong or
very black coffee together until the syrup will thread. In the meantime
wash one cup of sweet butter in cold water to take out all the salt.
Put in a piece of cheesecloth and pat it until all the moisture is dried
out. Beat until creamy, adding slowly the beaten yolk of one egg and the
syrup. Spread this filling between layer cakes, but it is more often
used to pipe over the top of small cakes.
