Comments:
Use this classic chocolate fudge frosting for layer cakes, sheet cakes, or to frost cupcakes.

Ingredients:

12 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
Pinch of salt

Instructions:
In the top pan of a double boiler, combine the chocolate and heavy cream. Set the pan over but not touching barely simmering water in the bottom pan and melt the chocolate, then whisk until well blended. Let cool slightly. Add the sour cream and salt and stir just until blended. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Whisk the frosting briefly until lighter in color and thick enough to spread. Frosting will keep in a airtight container in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Makes approximately 2 1/2 - 3 cups frosting, or enough to frost a (9-inch) 2 layer cake, a 9 x 13 inch cake, or 24 cupcakes.

Review:
Wonderful, wonderful frosting! The taste is rich and with a twist due to the sour cream. It is very, very easy to work with. I used it on a very large layer cake and it looked beautiful. Comes highly recommended.
