Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour (170 g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (85 g)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (60 ml)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (113 g)
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup whole milk (60 ml)
- 1/3 cup sprinkles (jimmies or quins)
- 1 batch white chocolate frosting or your favorite frosting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cupcake tin by lining it with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, sour cream, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Add milk and mix until smooth.
- Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
- Fold in the sprinkles evenly, ensuring they are well distributed.
- Divide the batter evenly into the cupcake tin, filling each liner about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 17-19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool for 5-10 minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost the cupcakes with white chocolate frosting or your favorite frosting once they are completely cool.
Notes
- For a lighter texture, substitute cake flour with all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
- Plain yogurt can replace sour cream for a tangy twist.
- Use unsweetened applesauce to substitute eggs if needed.
- If you prefer convenience, store-bought frosting can be used.
