Ingredients

Step-by-Step Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the cupcake pan with cupcake liners and set it aside. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium mixing bowl. Then whisk well and set aside.

Add melted butter, sugar, sour cream (or yogurt), and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth.

Now add dry ingredients and milk alternatively into two parts into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Transfer the batter to the cupcake liners using an ice cream scoop or spoon. Fill each cupcake liner up to two-thirds of the way.

Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with your favorite frosting.

Serving Suggestions

I have topped the cupcakes with light, and perfectly sweet vanilla whipped cream frosting. But you can frost the cupcakes with buttercream as well. Instead of vanilla whipped cream, you can frost the cupcakes with chocolate whipped cream frosting. Top the cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting for the vanilla and chocolate combo. However, you can skip the frosting and serve the cupcake with vanilla or chocolate ice cream.

Storing Suggestions

Store the Eggless Vanilla Cupcakes without frosting at room temperature for 3-4 days, tightly covered. And then, you can frost the cupcakes before serving. If you top the cupcakes with whipped cream frosting, you can keep them at room temperature for a couple of hours. But then place them in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to 4 days.

Helpful Tips

For the Moist and Tender Cupcakes: Measure the ingredients correctly, and use the kitchen scale if possible for accurate measurements. Also, after adding dry ingredients to wet ones, do not overmix. Instead, mix it only until everything is just combined. Yogurt or Sour Cream: Yogurt and sour cream make the cupcakes moist and rich. You can use either one for this recipe, but make sure to use the full-fat dairy for the best results. Mixing The Batter: Do not overmix the cake batter; overmixing will make the cupcakes denser. Do Not Overfill: Fill each cupcake liner only up to two-thirds of the way. Overfilling will give the muffin top to the cupcakes. Baking: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on the cupcakes after 15 minutes of baking. Overbaking will make the cupcakes dry and dense.  Make-Ahead: You can make the cupcakes ahead of time. And keep the cupcakes at room temperature, tightly covered for 3-4 days. Then you can top the cupcakes with frosting. Frosting: I like to top the cupcakes with whipped cream or buttercream frosting. But you can use any of your favorite frosting to top these cupcakes. Freezing: You can freeze the unfrosted cupcakes tightly covered for up to a month.

How To Make Cake Flour Substitute?

To make a cake flour substitute at home, you will need all-purpose flour and cornstarch. So for one cup of cake flour, you measure one cup of all-purpose flour, 120g (16 tbsp). Then remove two tablespoon flour (15g) from this, and there will now be 14 tablespoon of flour (105g). Next, add 2 tablespoon (15g) cornstarch to 14 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Sift the mixture of all-purpose flour and cornstarch twice. And your cake flour is ready. So for this recipe, you will need to remove 3 tablespoon (22g) of all-purpose flour from 1½ cups and replace it with 3 tablespoon (22g) cornstarch. Again, sifting is critical to incorporate the air to make the flour light and fluffy.

Can I Use Oil Instead Of Butter?

Butter makes the cupcakes rich and flvorful. However, you can use oil instead of butter for these cupcakes. Use 6 tablespoon (90ml) of sunflower or any other nuetral-flaovred oil instead of butter.
