Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding dry ingredients and sour cream, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour in the whole milk, stirring until the batter is smooth.
  7. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to create a cinnamon-sugar paste.
  8. Scoop the batter into the liners, adding a spoonful of cinnamon-sugar paste to the center.
  9. Gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter with a toothpick.
  10. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  11. Cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Whisk together powdered sugar, extra milk, and vanilla extract for the glaze and drizzle over cooled cupcakes.
