"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. In a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speek, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and lightened to a cream color. On low speed, mix in oil and vanilla until blended. Mix in the sour cream and blend. Mix in the flour mixture until batter is smooth. Pour into cupcake papers and bake at 350 for 18 - 20 minutes.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is my go-to recipe for made-from-scratch cupcakes; they are delicious! The use of oil for the fat eliminates the step of softening butter and makes for a moister cupcake. The sour cream adds richness. Beating the eggs and sugar together is the step that lightens the texture of the cupcakes, so don't skimp on that.
