These are just a basic cupcake recipe, but they are some of the best I have tried. They are moist and fluffy. If you dont have the vanilla bean on hand, then use an additional 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract instead. Recipe source : Sallysbakingaddiction.com

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin pan with cupcake liners and set it aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set it aside.

  3. 3

    Using either a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Then beat in the butter for about 2 minutes, until they are creamed together. Beat in the egg whites, vanilla extract and vanilla bean seeds. When that's all combined, beat in the sour cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

  4. 4

    Switch to low speed and slowly add in the dry ingredients. Then slowly add in the milk. Mix until just combined.

  5. 5

    Fill each cup up 2/3 of the way full. Then bake for 17-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and let the cupcakes sit on the pan for another few minutes.

  6. 6

    After about 5 minutes, move the cupcakes to a wire rack. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
