The sour cream really gives it that soft and moist interior that melts in the mouth. These do not rise as high so I usually fill them up about 3/4 high
I've tried these with my Meringue buttercream as well as my Vanilla and Chocolate buttercream.
This recipe will make 12 cupcakes. You can double or triple it and still get good results.
Ingredients
150 grams (1 1/2 cup) Cake Flour
125 grams (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp.) white granulated Sugar
113 grams (1/2 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature.
30 ml / 2 tbsp. sour cream
2 tbsp milk
3 large eggs
A pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tsp Vanilla Extract.
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 170 C / 340F.
- Line your muffin pan with cupcake wrappers and lightly spray them with Pam spray.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl mix together first the sour cream and milk. Use a whisk and make it smooth. next add in the eggs and vanilla essence. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl swift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt.
- Now alternate the flour mix and egg mix into the butter and cream mixture on low speed. Once all the ingredients are in. Scrape the sides of the bowl and give it another mix on medium until a smooth batter is achieved. Do not over-mix.
- Pour into the cupcake wrappers about 3/4 full. You can see mine are almost more than 3/4 full. I use the whole batch to make 12 cupcakes only.
- Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes until light golden on the top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool until ready to frost.
Until next time - Happy Baking.

I made these yesterday, I never got a chance to decorate them.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to see if they were cooked inside so I cut open one and the next thing you know my hubby and kids were eating them warm out of the oven.
They are so moist and delicious. You are right sour cream does give them a nice soft crumn. Need to make more today for an order. Thanks for the recipe.
