How to Make Sour Cream Cinnamon Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin liner about halfway with batter. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  8. Top with the remaining batter and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  9. Drizzle the melted butter over the tops of the cupcakes and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
