Dark Chocolate Frosting

about two weeks ago i took my first visit to sprinkles cupcakes.
after trying one bit of the frosting i instantly understood why people
swooned and scallwaggered after these cupcakes so much
it was delicious.
i knew i had to google the recipe.
and since oprah loves them so much her site has the recipie
so here it is:

The ingredients:
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate , chopped
1 pound unsalted butter , at room temperature
1 pound plus 8 ounces powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream

The Directions:
Melt and cool chocolate (until just slightly warm). Beat butter until light and fluffy. With mixer on low speed, gradually add powdered sugar. Add salt, vanilla and sour cream and mix until very smooth. Add chocolate and mix until just incorporated.

*Don't over-whip and add too much air into the frosting. The consistency should be rich and dense, like ice cream!


now your all set.
the only problem is.
that you about to become the go to cupcake maker.
live with it.
