    1 In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup cocoa and 3/4 cup boiling water; set aside.

    2 In another small bowl, dissolve baking soda in the sour cream by stirring them together.

    3 In a large bowl, cream the 1/2 cup butter and 2 cups sugar. Gradually mix in the sour cream mixture and cocoa mixture alternately with the dry ingredients. Beat until fluffy. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold in the egg whites and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla.

This yields about 2 cups of frosting.Makes 18 servings
