Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder

- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Whole milk

- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter, mixing until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated before the next addition.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, mixing just until combined after each addition. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Frost or decorate as desired before serving. Enjoy!
