Ingredients
Scale
- 222 grams gluten-free 1:1 baking flour blend
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 120 grams sour cream, room temperature
- 120 milliliters whole milk, room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- With the mixer on low speed, add half of the dry flour mixture, followed by the sour cream and milk. Then add the remaining flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
