Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
1 large egg
¼ cup sour cream
¾ cup milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¾ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
3-4 cups confectioners sugar ((powdered sugar))
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with 12 liners.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk the sugar and melted butter until smooth (mixture will be gritty). Whisk in eggs, then sour cream, milk and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Slowly add in dry ingredients and stir until completely incorporated. Batter will be thick.

  • Frost cooled cupcakes using a spreader or a piping bag. Depending on how much frosting you use on each cupcake, there may be some leftover.

Perfect

Simply perfect Vanilla Cupcakes made in just one bowl! Top with vanilla buttercream and get ready to fall in love.

Provided by Ashley Manila

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, very soft
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup full-fat sour cream
1/2 cup whole milk
3 and 1/4 cups cake flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, very soft
4 to 5 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (omit if you desire a stark white frosting)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line 2 cupcake tins with paper liners; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter, vanilla, and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, beat in the sour cream, then the milk. Turn mixer off. Add in the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a fork to lightly toss the dry ingredients together. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter, mixing just until combined. Be sure not to over mix here or you cupcakes will be dense!
  • Spoon batter into prepared cupcake tin (filling 1/2 way each - not more or they'll overflow) and bake for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter on medium-speed until completely smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the confectioners sugar, no more than a 1/2 cup at a time. Once all of the sugar has been incorporated, pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Once all of the ingredients have been incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until fluffy.
  • If the frosting appears too thin, add a little confectioners' sugar, one tablespoon at a time; if the frosting appears too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at time.

  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and more tender cupcake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cupcake.
  • Line the cupcake tins with paper liners. This will help the cupcakes to come out of the tins easily.
  • Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes. Check the cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcakes are done.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Make the frosting by creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add the vanilla extract and milk and mix until well combined.
  • Spread the frosting on the cupcakes. You can use a piping bag or a knife to spread the frosting.
  • Decorate the cupcakes as desired. You can use sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other decorations.
