Sweet Vanilla Cupcake



I love this cupcake.  It tastes like the one I’m craving from Kara’s Cupcakes in San Francisco.  I’m happy.  Happy Valentine’s day everyone!!!

A Ingredients
Cake flour                    1¾ cups
All-purpose flour         1¼ cups
Sugar                            1½ cups
Baking powder                1 tablespoon
Salt                                  ¾ teaspoon

B Ingredients
Unsalted butter, cubed, soften          1 cup
Eggs                                                  4
Sour cream                                        1/3 cup
Whole milk                                       ¾ cup
Pure vanilla extract                           1 teaspoon

C Ingredients
Sweet vanilla buttercream icing      1 recipe
Sprinkles for decoration                     to taste

Direction:
1. Preheat oven 350°F/180°C.  Line a muffin baking pan with muffin liners. 
2. Measure all A ingredients into a mixing bowl, mix well.  Add the softened butter cubes to mix until the butter cubes are slightly smaller and coated with flour. 
3. Measure the rest of B ingredients into another mixing bowl, beat with a fork, add to batter in three batches.  Do not overmix. 
4. Pour the batter into the lined muffin cups, around 2/3 full.  Bake in the oven for 19 minutes, rotate the baking pan so it bakes evenly, bake an additional 5-6 minutes until golden brown or a tester inserted into center comes out clean.  Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes from muffin pan, place on wire rakes to cool completely before apply icing. 
5. Using an ice cream scoop, top one huge scoop of buttercream onto the cupcake, decorate!!!

Serving: 2 dozen
