Instructions

For the Brown Sugar Cupcakes

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract, sour cream and vegetable oil.

Step 3

Gradually add in the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with milk. Mix until batter is uniform and smooth (do not over mix).

Step 4

Fill baking cups about 3/4 full and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, transfer cupcakes to a wire rack and allow to cool.
