- Sugar5 cups
- Egg1
- Sour cream¼ cups
- Vanilla2 tsp + 1
- Milk¾ cups

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners, and use a second pan or batches for 14 cupcakes total.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar, then rest 5 minutes to cool and thicken slightly.
- Whisk in the egg, sour cream and vanilla, then whisk in the milk.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and whisk until mostly smooth with a few small lumps. Fold in the sprinkles.
- Fill the liners three-quarters full.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick in the centre comes out clean. Do not overbake.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack and cool completely before decorating.
- Beat the softened butter and cream cheese on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar, cream or milk and vanilla, beat on low for 30 seconds, then on medium-high for 2 minutes.
- Adjust the frosting: add a pinch of salt if too sweet; add up to 1/2 cup more confectioners' sugar if too thin, or cream or milk one tablespoon at a time if too thick.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes and top with sprinkles if desired.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
