Makes 1 dozen cupcakes

IngredientsVanilla Cupcakes

1½ c. flour

1 c. sugar

1½ tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

8 tbsp. butter (room temperature)

½ c. sour cream

1 egg

2 egg yolks

1½ tsp. vanilla

Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting

2 c. chilled whipping cream

1 c. confectioners’ sugar

½ c. unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions 1 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your pan with cupcake

liners.

2 Whisk together the first 4 ingredients. Add the butter, sour cream, egg, egg yolks and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and satiny, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula then mix by hand until smooth. No flour pockets should remain.

3 Pour batter into your prepared pan and place in the preheated oven. Bake until they’re pale gold and tester, such as a toothpick, comes out clean, about 20-24 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool before topping with chocolate whipped cream frosting.

4 To make the frosting: Using a chilled metal bowl and chilled beaters, whip the cream for a few minutes until it starts to thicken. Sift the cocoa and sugar into the cream and continue to beat until it’s thick enough to hold firm peaks. Take care not to over beat or the cream will become butter!

4 After frosting each cupcake, add decorative toppings if you’d like. Chill if not eaten right away. Enjoy!
