Sour cream frosting adds a delicious tangy note to the classic sweetness of buttercream frosting.
This sour cream frosting won’t taste like sour cream, but people will notice its wonderful bright flavor when paired with all manner of cakes and cupcakes. Adding just a touch of sour cream into frosting can make a world of difference! Make sure that all ingredients are at room temperature. The butter needs to be soft but not melting, and the sour cream should have been sitting out of the refrigerator for a few hours before you begin. Beat the butter on high speed with an electric mixer for three minutes. You can use vanilla extract, but try using vanilla bean paste for a stronger vanilla flavor. It’s made with actual vanilla beans and the flavor is sensational.
Use instead of lemon frosting with lemon cupcakes if you don’t want too intense of a lemon flavor. You’ve heard of sour cherries, but sour cream paired with cherries is just as good! Bananas go really well with the tart flavor of sour cream. This sour cream frosting goes perfectly with any vanilla cake recipe. Pipe the frosting on top of cheesecake instead of whipped cream to make it even more decadent! However, low-fat sour cream and even Greek yogurt will also work. I like to use a higher ratio of cream cheese to butter than I do sour cream to butter.
