For the Cupcakes:

  • 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (divided)
  • 3/4 cup Whole Milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

For the Frosting:

  • 1/4 cup Butter softened
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions

For the Cupcakes:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with cupcakes liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, melt the butter.  Then stir in 1 cup of the sugar.  Let the mixture cool at room temperature.
  • Then stir in the egg, sour cream, milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.  Be careful not to over mix.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the remaining sugar and cinnamon.
  • Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of the cupcake batter into each muffin tin and top with 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
  • Pour more batter on top until the muffin tin is approximate 3/4 full and top with another teaspoon of the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
  • Bake for 16-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before topping with the frosting.

For the Frosting:

  • Beat together the cream cheese and butter with a hand held or stand up mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until combined.
  • Then stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon.  Mix until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes with a star tip.
  • Then the cupcakes are ready to serve and enjoy!
