Extreme Vanilla Bean Cupcakes


Craving a vanilla bean treat I found this recipe on Sophistimom.com website.  It is easy to make, moist and delicious.  I made a vanilla bean buttercream to top it with but her recipe for strawberry buttercream looked yummy too.  These cupcakes hit the spot. 

vanilla bean cupcakes
1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter, melted
1 egg
1/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
seeds scraped from one vanilla bean (these can always be left out, and the cupcakes will still be delicious)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard muffin tin with cupcake liners. Combine all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Fill cupcake liners slightly more then halfway full.
2. Bake for 15 minutes, or until center cupcakes bounce back when touched. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.   From Sophistimom.
