Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Additional:
- Colorful sprinkles (optional, for inside and on top)
- Buttercream frosting (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Combine wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix in the sour cream.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Add sprinkles: Gently fold in 2–3 tablespoons of sprinkles if desired.
- Fill cupcake liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and frost: Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, frost with buttercream and top with more sprinkles.
Notes
- For a fun twist, use different colored liners or add a drop of food coloring to the batter.
- These cupcakes can be made ahead and frozen (unfrosted) for up to 2 months.
