## Summary

A glossy coffee icing from a strong instant coffee shot whisked with icing sugar and cream, for a coffee-walnut or Madeira loaf.

## Description

The glossy icing that belongs on a coffee and walnut cake, made in minutes. A strong shot of instant coffee is whisked with icing sugar and a little cream into a thick, pourable topping that sets to a firm, shiny finish. Instant is the right choice here, dissolving into a concentrated shot without thinning the mixture down.
