Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add melted butter and oil and stir until combined.
- In a separate small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together sour cream, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then whisk in milk.
- Add sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until batter is uniform and well-combined.
- Stir in sprinkles.
- Divide batter into prepared cupcake tin, filling only ¾ full (note: if you fill up any higher the cupcake tops may spread a bit on the tin, if you have excess batter just discard rather than overfill) and bake in center rack of oven for 17-19 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow cupcakes to cool in baking pan for 5-10 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting with your favorite frosting.
