Rich Chocolate Frosting Delicious rich frosting perfect for a yellow or chocolate cake. Makes 3 cups - enough to frost a two layer 9-inch cake 5 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 5 ounces milk chocolate, coarsely chopped 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 2¼ cups confectioners' sugar, sifted 9 tablespoons sour cream Place chopped chocolates in a microwave-safe bowl and place in the Cuisinart® Convection Microwave Oven with Grill and microwave on medium (PL-5) for 2 minutes; stir. Continue microwaving on half power in 20second increments, stirring frequently until melted. Once the chocolate has melted add the butter and the vanilla and mix together with a Cuisinart hand mixer. Once ingredients are incorporated, mix in the salt and the sifted sugar, about ½ cup at a time. Once all the sugar has been incorporated, beat the mixture on speed 3. Add the sour cream one tablespoon at a time until mixture comes together as a silky frosting. For best results, use the frosting the same day, before refrigerating.
