Yellow Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting


In our house we need no reason nor rhyme to make a dessert.This is the frosting we love best as it has sour cream which adds some sourness and the mix of sweet and sour is something that is liked by all of us. My husband especially so, as he doesn't typically like sweets which are all too sweety. With this frosting on top of the traditional cup cakes makes a very tasty treat, I am sure would be well liked by all.
