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.

My mom once received a small book with cupcake recipes along with a 6-cup silicone muffin pan as a gift. She made these delicious cupcakes and then shared the recipe with me. There are a lot of sour cream or vanilla cupcakes posted here, but not one is even close to this recipe. It can be made in either a silicone or metal pan. It can also easily be doubled or tripled to make larger batches. For the easy fudge frosting shown, check out recipe #415723 by chef #971177.

Yield 6 Cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temp
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line either a 6-cup silicone or metal pan with paper liners.
  • In small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • With mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter and sugar until light.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended.
  • Gradually beat in half of the dry ingredients, then half of the sour cream. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients and sour cream.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the 6 prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake at 350° F for 20-25 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly tapped.
  • Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out cupcakes and cool completely on rack.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsification and texture.
  • Sift the flour to remove any lumps and ensure an even bake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a velvety crumb.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients gradually to avoid over-mixing and a tough batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners to ensure uniform baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven to maintain a consistent temperature.
  • Insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake; if it comes out clean, they are done.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a piping bag or spatula to apply the frosting for a smooth, professional finish.
