Although a different cake this time.
The frosting recipe I used was a butter cream one from my old Canadian Living Cookbook, and I used the variation where you add a couple of teaspoons of instant coffee for flavouring. There's another flavour variation that uses melted unsweetened chocolate for flavouring.
I may have to try that one. I can get a pound cake or something from Sobey's and save me from having to bake another cake just to try out frosting. But come to think of it, we're having a mystery writers' meeting on Sunday, so if the frosting turns out, I can recruit my group-mates to eat the cake...
