  • 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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add melted butter and oil and stir until combined.
  • In a separate small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together sour cream, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then whisk in milk.
  • Add sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until batter is uniform and well-combined.
  • Stir in sprinkles.
  • 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.
  • 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.
