Ingredients

Scale

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup salted butter (room temperature)
3 eggs
3 tsps vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 pound unsalted butter (for frosting)
8 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cream
1 drop pink food coloring

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients alternating with sour cream and milk until just combined.
Pour batter into liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
For frosting, beat unsalted butter with confectioners' sugar until smooth; mix in cream and food coloring until desired shade is reached.
Use a piping bag fitted with a rose tip to decorate cooled cupcakes.
