Perfect Vanilla Cupcakes Recipe (Moist & Fluffy!)

Описание: These from-scratch vanilla cupcakes are super soft and moist, have the perfect vanilla flavor, and are perfect for any celebration with a swirl of vanilla buttercream + pretty rainbow sprinkles! I originally published this recipe in 2018 and it’s become a reader fave ever since: https://sugarandsparrow.com/vanilla-c...

VANILLA CUPCAKES
Yield: 32 cupcakes

INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups (265g) sifted cake flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, room temp
1 3/4 cup (350g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temp
1/2 cup (120g) sour cream, room temp
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) whole milk, room temp

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177ºC) and line standard cupcake pan(s) with up to 32 liners.
2. Add the sifted cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or w/ hand mixer and large bowl), beat the butter on high for 2 minutes, then add the sugar and continue to beat on high until light and fluffy, about 2 min. Turn the mixer to low and add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add the vanilla and sour cream, then turn the mixer to high speed and mix for 1 min. Scrape down the bowl and paddle as needed.
4. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients all at once and mix until just combined, then add the milk in a steady stream. Continue mixing for another 20-30 seconds, until just combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and gently mix by hand until uniform.
5. Spoon or pour the batter into the cupcake liners until they’re about ⅔ full, then bake for 14-18 minutes, until they spring back to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Top with your fave frosting (my vanilla buttercream recipe is included here: https://sugarandsparrow.com/vanilla-c...)
