Instructions
Vanilla Bean Cupcake

Step 1

Preheat over to 325 F.

Step 2

Line the cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

Step 3

In the bowl of stand mixer, add the dry ingredients — Golden Sugar, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together until combined.

Step 4

Add the room temperature butter to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until you have what looks like a sand mixture —fine crumbs.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, sour cream, oil, and vanilla bean paste until fully incorporated

Step 6

Add the wet ingredients to the flour/sugar and mix on low/medium until combined.

Step 7

Add the milk and stir on low speed until all the ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Pour batter evenly amongst cupcake liners to about 1/2 way up the liner.

Step 9

Bake for 17-20 minutes depending on your oven.

Step 10

Remove cupcakes carefully from the cupcake tray as soon as they have finished baking. Once removed, cool on a cooling rack.

Vanilla Buttercream

Step 1

Cream the butter on medium/high in a stand mixer for about 3 minutes until you notice the butter has gotten lighter (whiter) in color.

Step 2

Add the Powdered Sugar, milk, and vanilla extract into the bowl with the butter. Using a rubber spatula incorporate the ingredients a little before turning the mixer on low speed.

Step 3

When all the ingredients have been incorporated turn the mixer back up to medium/high speed for 2 minutes. The frosting should be thick and fluffy as well as white in color.

Step 4

Once again, using a rubber spatula, smooth out some of the air bubbles and add in any colors you would like to use.
