Ingredients
For the Vanilla Cupcakes:

• 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, very soft
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup full-fat sour cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3 and 1/4 cups cake flour
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

• 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, very soft
• 4 to 5 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (omit if you desire a stark white frosting)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

For the cupcakes:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line 2 cupcake tins with paper liners; set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter, vanilla, and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, beat in the sour cream, then the milk. Turn mixer off. Add in the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a fork to lightly toss the dry ingredients together. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter, mixing just until combined. Be sure not to over mix here or you cupcakes will be dense!
• Spoon batter into prepared cupcake tin (filling 1/2 way each - not more or they'll overflow) and bake for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
