Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting C H Sugar Recipes

CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Place the chopped chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent scorching. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
• Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the chocolate, and whisk well. The frosting will be on the thinner side at first, but as it cools, it will thicken nicely.
• Whisk occasionally as it cools to room temperature. Once it has thickened to the texture of buttercream, pipe it on cupcakes or frost your cake. If it becomes too thick to easily spread, reheat it in short bursts in the microwave until you have a workable consistency.
• If you want to make the frosting in advance, press a layer of cling wrap on top, and store it at room temperature for several hours, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It is very hard when cold, so you'll need to gently reheat it in the microwave, whisking well, and then stir as it comes back to frosting consistency.

SOUR CREAM CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• Melt chocolate and the butter together. Let cool and blend in the sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Gradually add the confectioner's sugar until the frosting is of spreading consistency, beat well.

CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Melt chocolates in a double boiler or a large metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Remove bowl from heat, then whisk in sour cream and vanilla. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally (frosting will become thick enough to spread). You must work quickly and spread the frosting before it becomes too thick. (If icing does become stiff, reheat over simmering water, then cool and try again.)

CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, over low heat, melt chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth.
• Remove pan from heat, blend in sour cream, vanilla and salt.
• Gradually add enough confectioner's sugar to make frosting a spreading consistancy.
• Beat together well (by hand).
• Spread on cooled cake.

CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE AND DOUBLE CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Grease and flour the insides of two 14-14.5 ounce cans.
• Place the cans on a baking sheet, and set aside.
• Whisk the buttermilk, egg yolk, and vanilla together in a small bowl.
• Gradually pour the melted butter into the buttermilk mixture, whisking constantly.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium-size mixing bowl; add sugar, and then whisk to blend well.
• Add the buttermilk mixture and whisk just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
• Divide the batter between the prepared cans.
• Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Place the cans to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes.
• Run a knife around the edge of each can and invert them to release the cakes.
• Turn the cakes upright and let them cool completely on the rack.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting: Place chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, and heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. (May also do this in the microwave.).
• Let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes. Then add the sour cream, vanilla, and salt, and whisk to blend well.
• Let the frosting cool to room temperature, stirring it occasionally.
• When frosting and cakes have cooled, cut each cake in half horizontally.
• Spread a layer of frosting about 1/2 inch thick on the cut side of one cake half, then stack the other half on top of it.
• Frost the top and sides of the cake.
• Repeat with the remaining cake and frosting.
• Store the cakes in the refrigerator in an airtight container, bringing them back to room temperature before serving.
