Simply Chocolate Frosting

Lora Reardon August 4, 2015

Passing on the sweets much of the time, I do make a devilish chocolate cake when the mood strikes and wrap it in  billows of a luscious chocolate frosting.  This frosting goes on thick and satiny; use a wide, flat spreader to create the fat billows.   The ingredients are all basic from the SimplyCooking® pantry.  

simply chocolate frosting

113 grams (1 stick) butter

2 oz. unsweetened chocolate

30 grams or about 1/3 cup cocoa powder

2 tsp. vanilla extract

150 grams or scant 2 cups powdered sugar

8 oz.  sour cream

Melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.  Whisk in cocoa powder and vanilla.  Whisk in half the powdered sugar and half of the sour cream then the remaining powdered sugar and remaining sour cream.
