Chocolate Cake with Coffee Buttercream

I actually planned to make a log cake but due to time constraint, I decided to make this cake for our Christmas Celebration on 25 Dec 16. This is the first attempt making this buttercream by Lucinda and I am glad that it turned out well with only 3 ingredients and easy steps. Will definitely use this buttercream for all my cakes.
