Steps to make this recipe:

To make the cupcakes:

In a separate bowl, add the vegetable oil, vanilla and eggs mixing together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients adding the sour cream last. Mix together until combined.

Scoop the batter into your individual muffins liners filling them about halfway to allow room for them to rise.

Once the muffins have completely cooled, add the frosting as desired.

Non-stick cupcake liners were used for this recipe. I found them really useful for this recipe because I didn’t have to add any additional cooking spray to my muffin pan.
