Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter, mixing until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated before the next addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, mixing just until combined after each addition. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost or decorate as desired before serving. Enjoy!
