Cooling Rack
Piping bag (optional)
- ½ cup butter softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 egg whites
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup butter softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup assorted fruits chopped into small bite-size pieces. Suggested fruits: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, kiwi, mango, blackberries, oranges, peaches
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the egg whites, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Line a muffin pan with paper cupcake liners. Scoop the batter into the liners, filling them about ¾ full.
Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 9 minutes. The cupcakes are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool on a baking rack until they reach room temperature.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the frosting is smooth.
Once the cupcakes have cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on each one.
Top the cupcakes with the chopped fruit of your choice, arranging it as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet Southern goodness!
