How to Make Kuchen Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the sour cream and applesauce.
  7. Fill the cupcake liners about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting (cream cheese frosting is highly recommended!).
