Chocolate-Sour Cream Frosting
Ingredients
  • 1
    12 ounce package (2 cups) semisweet chocolate pieces
  • 1/2
    cup butter
  • 1
    8 ounce carton dairy sour cream
  • 4 1/2
    cups sifted powdered sugar (about 1 pound)
Directions

In a large saucepan melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently. Cool for 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. This frosts tops and sides of two 8- or 9-inch cake layers. (Halve the recipe to frost a 13x9x2-inch cake.) Cover and store frosted cake in the refrigerator.

To die for...I honestly save the leftover frosting and eat it with a spoon. It's also great warm on ice cream!
