Ingredients
Vanilla Cupcakes
- ¾ cup butter softened (1 ½ sticks)
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg whites
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups flour
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup sour cream
Buttercream Frosting
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- ⅓ cup butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- About 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 muffin tins with paper baking cups.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg whites, one at a time, and mix well. Then add vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, flour, milk and sour cream. Beat for a minute or so until the batter is smooth.
- Portion the batter equally among paper-lined muffin cups until they are about ⅔ full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean.
- Frosting: Combine the powdered sugar and butter. Stir in the vanilla and milk; beat until smooth. This should take a little while to get the best consistency for frosting. Add food color if you like.
