How to Make Sour Cream Cake Filling
- Whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch in a medium bowl until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks lightly. Gradually whisk in the sugar and cornstarch mixture until smooth.
- Stir in 1 cup sour cream until thoroughly incorporated.
- Cook the mixture in a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water) over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 10-15 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or other desired flavoring, such as lemon zest or almond extract).
- Pour the filling into a shallow dish. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely cool (at least 2 hours) before using to fill your cake layers.
