  • 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) Prairie Farms Butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs, large
  • 1 1/2 cups Prairie Farms sour cream

Chocolate Frosting

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder

  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high setting using a paddle attachment until creamy. Gradually add sugar and beat on high until well blended. Reduce speed to medium, add eggs, one at a time, and then vanilla, until blended.
