I have enjoyed a sour cream frosting on banana cupcakes, banana cake, and a zucchini cake before. So I thought I am sure a chocolate version would be equally delicious. I was right it was quite scrumptious. So next time you are in the mood for a chocolate cake give this sour cream chocolate frosting recipe a try.

  1. Would it turn out if I just used a whisk instead of an electric mixer? I don’t have a mixer, but this looks really good, I’d like to try it out.

  2. Thanks for sharing! I have a great new chocolate cake recipe for a 9 x13 pan and was looking for a great frosting. I can’t wait to try it.
