Velvet Frosting
This makes for a chocolate lover’s dream when used on THE Best Chocolate Cake…
1 package semi-sweet chocolate pieces (I prefer Hershey’s brand)
1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
2 1/2 to 2 3/4 c. sifted confectioner’s sugar
Melt chocolate pieces and butter over hot (not boiling) water; remove from heat and blend in sour cream, vanilla and salt.
Gradually beat in enough confectioner’s sugar to make a frosting of spreading consistency.
