Sour Cream Cupcakes image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h35m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
Candy or sprinkles, for garnish
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup sour cream
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
3 sticks unsalted butter, almost room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Reserve.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the butter and sugar. Using the paddle attachment beat the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Slowly add the vanilla, milk and sour cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed. With the mixer on medium speed, gradually mix in the flour.
  • Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups. Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 of the way, dividing the batter evenly among the lined cups.
  • Put in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Check about halfway through the baking process to make sure everything is going along great and also rotate the muffin tin.
  • The cupcakes are done when a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of a cake. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack, then frost and decorate.
  • Put the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. Put 1-inch of water in a saucepan and put the bowl of chips on top of the pan. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Gently stir the chips around until they are 3/4 of the way melted. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and stir occasionally until all the chips have melted.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and add the powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Beat on low speed until the mixture is combined. Then turn the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 30 seconds. Turn down the mixer and add the chocolate gradually. Turn up the mixer again and beat until the chocolate is completely incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy.

SOUR CREAM CUPCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE ICING, PRETZELS AND POTATO CHIPS



Sour Cream Cupcakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing, Pretzels and Potato Chips image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 lemon, juiced
4 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
1/4 cup chopped pretzels
1/4 cup chopped potato chips
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
Flaked sea salt

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Reserve.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar. Beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until they are light and fluffy. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Slowly add the vanilla, sour cream and milk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed. With the mixer on medium speed, gradually mix in the flour.
  • Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups. Divide the batter evenly among the lined cups, filling each about two-thirds of the way.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of a cake, about 20 minutes. Check about halfway through the baking process to make sure everything is going along great and also rotate the tin.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before frosting and decorating.
  • For the icing: Beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a stand mixer on medium-high speed (or with a hand mixer) until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide the icing between two bowls. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler and set aside to slightly cool. Add the melted chocolate to one of the bowls of cream cheese icing and thoroughly mix to combine. Fill one pastry bag fitted with a star tip with the chocolate cream cheese icing, and another fitted with a star tip with the regular cream cheese icing.
  • To garnish: Fill a pastry bag with the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake and fill with the chocolate hazelnut spread. Pipe some of the regular cream cheese frosting onto half of the top of the cupcake, and some of the chocolate frosting on the other half so it's two-toned, like a black-and-white cookie. Garnish with hazelnuts, pretzels, potato chips and flaked sea salt.

Tips to Bake Delicious Sour Cream Cupcakes:

- Choose the Freshest Ingredients: Start with the freshest sour cream for a rich, tangy flavor. Ensure the other ingredients are fresh too, like the eggs, butter, and flour. - Follow the Exact Measurements: Baking is a precise process, so accurately measure your ingredients using a kitchen scale or standard measuring cups. Consistency is key to successful baking. - Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients Separately: Keep the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) in one bowl and the wet ingredients (sugar, butter, eggs, and sour cream) in another. Combine them gradually to avoid overmixing. - Mix Until Just Combined: Overmixing the batter can result in dense, chewy cupcakes. Mix only until all the ingredients are well combined. Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, leading to a tough texture. - Bake at the Right Temperature: Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cupcakes. Ovens can vary, so use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. - Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or cake tester into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the cupcakes are done. Avoid overbaking, which can dry them out. - Cool Completely Before Frosting: Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This prevents the frosting from melting and becoming runny.

Conclusion:

Baking sour cream cupcakes from scratch is a rewarding experience, and with the right techniques and attention to detail, you can create moist, fluffy, and flavorful cupcakes that will impress your family and friends. Remember to use fresh ingredients, measure accurately, mix properly, bake at the right temperature, check for doneness, and let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting. Experiment with different frosting flavors and toppings to create unique and delicious variations of this classic treat. Happy baking!
