  • 1 ½ cups cake flour (170 g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter (85 g) melted and cooled until no longer warm to the touch
  • ¼ cup vegetable, avocado, or canola oil (60 ml) (or use olive oil, just note that they will impart a subtle taste on the finished product)
  • ½ cup sour cream (113 g)
  • 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup whole milk (60 ml)
  • ⅓ cup sprinkles jimmies or quins, nonpareils are not advised
  • 1 batch white chocolate frosting or your favorite frosting

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add melted butter and oil and stir until combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together sour cream, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then whisk in milk.
  5. Add sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until batter is uniform and well-combined.
  6. Stir in sprinkles.
  7. Divide batter into prepared cupcake tin, filling only ¾ full (note: if you fill up any higher the cupcake tops may spread a bit on the tin, if you have excess batter just discard rather than overfill) and bake in center rack of oven for 17-19 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow cupcakes to cool in baking pan for 5-10 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting with your favorite frosting.
