Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature) for 1 minute. Add granulated sugar and beat for another minute.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  7. For the frosting: In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature) until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  8. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.
  9. Add vanilla extract and beat for 2 minutes, then add heavy cream or milk to reach desired consistency.
  10. Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes and decorate as desired for Halloween.
