SOUR CREAM CUPCAKES



Sour Cream Cupcakes image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h35m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
Candy or sprinkles, for garnish
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup sour cream
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
3 sticks unsalted butter, almost room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Reserve.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the butter and sugar. Using the paddle attachment beat the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Slowly add the vanilla, milk and sour cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed. With the mixer on medium speed, gradually mix in the flour.
  • Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups. Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 of the way, dividing the batter evenly among the lined cups.
  • Put in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Check about halfway through the baking process to make sure everything is going along great and also rotate the muffin tin.
  • The cupcakes are done when a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of a cake. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack, then frost and decorate.
  • Put the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. Put 1-inch of water in a saucepan and put the bowl of chips on top of the pan. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Gently stir the chips around until they are 3/4 of the way melted. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and stir occasionally until all the chips have melted.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and add the powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Beat on low speed until the mixture is combined. Then turn the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 30 seconds. Turn down the mixer and add the chocolate gradually. Turn up the mixer again and beat until the chocolate is completely incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy.

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter is cold before creaming it with the sugar.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and creamy.
  • Add the sour cream slowly to the butter mixture, beating constantly. If you add it too quickly, the frosting may curdle.
  • Bring the butterscotch pudding to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. This will help thicken the pudding and prevent it from curdling.
  • Allow the butterscotch pudding to cool completely before adding it to the frosting. If you add it while it's still hot, the frosting may curdle.
  • Beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and creamy.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Sour cream butterscotch frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make frosting that is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be ready in just a few minutes.
