Vanilla Sour Cream Cupcakes (Small Batch)
"My mom once received a small book with cupcake recipes along with a 6-cup silicone muffin pan as a gift. She made these delicious cupcakes and then shared the recipe with me. There are a lot of sour cream or vanilla cupcakes posted here, but not one is even close to this recipe. It can be made in either a silicone or metal pan. It can also easily be doubled or tripled to make larger batches. For the easy fudge frosting shown, check out recipe #415723 by chef #971177."

Aye-aie-aie! HELLO SALTY CUPCAKES. I do believe in order for this recipe to really turn out a good cupcake, the salt measurement needs to be reduced to AT LEAST 1/2 TSPN, if not 1/4TSPN. FAR TOO SALTY the way it is. Otherwise, the idea of a small batch of cupcakes is a good one...for those days when you don't want to make 12-24 and have half of them sitting around! :-)

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
