1 cup (8 oz ) sour cream

FROSTING

1/3 cup butter, softened
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/to 4 tbs milk or enough to make easy to spread
1 tsp pure vanilla

In small bowl, beat all ingredients until smooth enough to spread. If too thick
add a little more milk.
Spread over cake and enjoy.

This cake is very good with a dob of whipped cream on each piece of unfrosted cake, as you serve it.
DO NOT put whipped cream all over the cake unless you are going to eat all of the cake at one sitting
Very good also with a serving of vanilla ice cream.
