VANILLA CUPCAKES

STEP 1: For the buttercream, combine brown sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon in a saucepan and whisk. While whisking slowly pour in milk.

STEP 2: Place over medium heat and stir continuously. Whisk quickly as it thickens. When it feels like a custard, pour into a heat safe container.

STEP 3: For the cinnamon swirl combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and all purpose flour and set it aside.

STEP 4: For the cupcakes whisk the cake flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add oil and butter and beat until combined.

STEP 5: Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until they're fully combined. Then add the sour cream and milk, mixing just until the batter is smooth.

STEP 6: Fill a lined muffin tin about 1/3 full of batter. Spread 1 tsp of cinnamon sugar filling and top with batter, filling the cupcake liners to 3/4. full.

STEP 7: Use a knife to gently swirl the cupcake. Bake for 20 min at 350F. Remove from oven and cool before moving to a cooling rack.

STEP 8: For the buttercream, place butter in a large bowl. Using a stand mixer, whisk the butter at full speed until it is pale and fluffy.

STEP 9: Add the cooled custard in 4 increments while mixing at medium-high speed. Add the vanilla and mix until it's fully combined and smooth.

STEP 10: To assemble, frost the cupcakes and dust them with cinnamon. Serve them fresh or just slightly chilled.
