Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large egg whites
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg whites to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the sour cream using a spatula until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full to prevent overflow.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
