Notes: Espresso Ganache Frosting:
In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup heavy cream and 2 tsp espresso powder. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once at a boil, immediately remove from heat and stir in 1 Tbsp butter. Pour cream over 1 1/4 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute to melt the chocolate, then whisk smooth with a metal spoon or rubber spatula. Cover the surface of the frosting with plastic wrap and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes or until firm enough to spread.
