Ingredients

Scale
  • For the cupcake base:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 egg whites (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • For the frosting:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • For the topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh fruit, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside. Prepare diced fruit for topping.
  2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in sour cream, milk, and vanilla.
  3. Gently fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
  4. Fill liners 3/4 full. Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce to 350°F and bake for 9 more minutes until done.
  5. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then heavy cream. Mix until fluffy and smooth. Add lemon zest.
  6. Cool cupcakes completely before frosting.
  7. Spread frosting and top with fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Two-temperature baking helps create a domed cupcake.
  • Do not overmix batter to keep cupcakes light.
  • Best served fresh or chilled.
