Sour Cream Frosting Recipe Perfect With Carrot Cupcakes
While we often see carrot cakes with cream cheese frosting, sour cream is a tangier option. (Plain yogurt may serve as an alternative). Slightly thinner than cream cheese frosting, it is best suited to cupcakes. Sour cream and cream cheese are comparable in fat content, so no cutting calories there. However, this sour cream frosting is the perfect foil to the carrot and pineapple-packed cake. Sounds and looks delicious!
Sour Cream Frosting
4 Tbsp butter, softened
1/2 cup HP Hood Sour Cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
2-3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients, except powered sugar, until well combined. With an electric mixer on slow, add confectioners’ sugar, beating until smooth. Decorate as desired.
(Note: We think you’d be ok with any brand of sour cream you have available).
