Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:27 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
00:33 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
01:29 Add melted butter and oil and stir until combined.
03:40 In a separate small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together sour cream, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then whisk in milk.
04:40 Add sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until batter is uniform and well-combined.
05:10 Stir in sprinkles.
05:38 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.
06:18 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.
