• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped (or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Frosting:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or the seeds from 1 vanilla bean)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla bean seeds or vanilla extract.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk and sour cream. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
6. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare the Frosting: In a bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well after each addition. Add milk and vanilla extract (or seeds) and mix until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
9. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with your vanilla bean frosting.

Enjoy your delicious and fragrant Vanilla Bean Cupcakes!
