Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz box angel food cake mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 3 tsp clear vanilla
  • Fillings: sweetened fresh whipped cream lime or lemon curd, assorted berries, ice cream, custard, pudding

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the wells of two 12 count cupcake pans with liners.
  • In a medium bowl use a whisk to sift together cake mix, cake flour, granulated sugar and salt. Sift together the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, water and oil until combined.
  • Using a hand mixer gradually beat the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  • After all of the wet ingredients are added continue mixing for around 2 minutes or until fully combined. (The batter will taste sweet at this point, but it will mellow as the cupcakes bake.)
  • Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. (Depending on how you separate the batter, you may be able to yield more than 24 cupcakes.)
  • Bake for 20 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove a small opening from the centers, and fill with fresh whipped cream, lime or lemon curd.
  • Garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint. Alternatively, serve glazed with a lemon or orange glaze.
