Since supplies are hard to get here in Costa Rica (at least where I live). I made a chocolate cake from scratch and used you sour cream frosting. it was great. I was concerned about using 3 cups of splenda, but it did not seem to make a diferrence, the frosting was great., thanks for the great receipt. LouDor
