Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners. Set aside.
-
Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
-
Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
-
Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in the sour cream. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed.
-
With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients until just incorporated. With the mixer still running on low, slowly pour in the milk until combined. Do not over-mix. The batter will be slightly thick.
-
Pour or spoon the batter into the liners. Fill only to ⅔ full to avoid spilling over the sides.
-
Bake for 19 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
For around 30 mini cupcakes, bake for about 11 to 13 minutes, same oven temperature. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
-
Frost the cooled cupcakes with chocolate buttercream. Top with sprinkles, serve, and enjoy!
