For the best flavor, use high-quality sour cream and pure vanilla extract. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial for a smooth, lump-free frosting. Do not overbeat the frosting after adding the confectioners' sugar, as this can cause it to become too stiff. This frosting pairs exceptionally well with red velvet cake, chocolate cake, and spice cake.
