This recipe comes from my pastry chef
days. If the eggs in the frosting recipe bother you, you can use any cream
frosting recipe, just make sure to add the instant coffee
for the flavoring.
You could also use this recipe for the frosting.

Frosting:

2 t. instant coffee
2 C. confectionary sugar
In your mixer bowl, beat sugar and butter together until very fluffy and sugar
is dissolved. Add eggs, 1 at a time and the instant coffee. Add confectionary
sugar and beat well. If frosting needs to be a little thinner, add milk.
Before frosting cakes, sprinkle the tops with Grand Marnier.
Note: You can also use toasted walnuts or toasted coconut on the sides of this
cake right after frosting. You can also put a layer of cut bananas between the
layers, on top of the frosting before adding cake layer.
