- Remove the bowl using a dish towel or oven mitt. Then add the sour cream, vanilla and salt. Stir until all ingredients are mixed together.
- Using a hand or stand mixer slowly stir in powdered sugar. Frosting should have a smooth consistency.
5. Once your chocolate cake is cooled, frost it by using small strokes back and forth with an off set spatula or butter knife. ENJOY!!
