Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Coconut flakes, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Arrange cupcake liners in a muffin tin.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter until smooth.
  5. Gradually add in the sugar mixture while mixing until light and fluffy.
  6. Add in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until fully incorporated.
  7. Mix in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until everything is well blended.
  8. In another bowl or measuring jug, combine 1 cup of whole milk and ½ cup of sour cream.
  9. Slowly pour this wet mixture into your butter-sugar-egg concoction while mixing on low speed until just combined.
  10. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
  11. Pour batter into prepared cupcake liners until they are about two-thirds full.
  12. Bake in preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  13. Allow them to cool slightly before transferring them onto wire racks.
  14. While waiting for the cakes to cool down completely, whip together 8 oz of softened cream cheese with ½ cup of softened unsalted butter until creamy.
  15. Gradually add in about 4 cups of powdered sugar along with a splash of vanilla extract until smooth.
  16. Once cooled completely, generously pipe or spread the cream cheese frosting over each cupcake using your favorite piping tip or simply with a spatula.
  17. Garnish with coconut flakes if desired.
