Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ¾ (150g) cup sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 (120g) cup cake flour
  • ½ (65g) cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon buttermilk powder you can swap the whole milk for buttermilk if you don't have the powder
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup sour cream or creme fraiche
  • cup sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°. Line a muffin pan or two with 12 cupcake liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand up mixer, combine the softened butter and sugar. Beat on high speed for 6-8 minutes or until the mixture is light and fluffy. This is an important step - don't skip it. If your mixture is not light and fluffy, keep mixing until it is.
  • While the butter and sugar are mixing, combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, buttermilk powder, and salt in a small mixing bowl. 
  • Once the butter and sugar are light and fluffy, stop your mixer and add the vanilla extract, and both eggs. Mix to combine. 
  • Stop the mixer and add ½ of the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. Stir until just barely combined. Stop the mixture and add the sour cream. Combine. Stop the mixer and add the second ½ of the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Stop the mixer, add the milk, and mix until just combined. Remove from the mixer and gently fold by hand until combined.
  • Fill each muffin liner ⅔ of the way with batter (I like to use a large cookie scoop for this part). 
  • Bake cupcakes for 15-17 minutes or until just barely golden brown around the edges.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool completely before topping with your favorite buttercream frosting.
