* ¼ cup sour cream
* ¼ cup buttermilk
* ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
* ½ cup soybean oil
* ¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
* 2 large eggs
* 1 egg yolk
* 2 Tbsp. vanilla
* 1 Tbsp. vanilla bean paste
* 2 cups unbleached flour
* 1 cup sugar
* 1¼ Tbsp. baking powder
* ½ tsp. salt
BEFORE YOU START: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place 30 soufflé cups on a flat baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
Place an 18-inch pastry bag with tip inside a large cup with the outside edge hanging over. You will use this to fill the soufflé cups with cupcake batter.
1. Place all wet ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Mix on low speed with a wire whisk attachment for about 1 minute until all ingredients are blended.
2. Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl and stir with a spoon to combine.
3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and blend on low for 1 minute until combined. Batter will be lumpy but blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Turn mixer on high for 30 seconds; most of the lumps will disappear and small air bubbles will start to form.
4. Pour batter into prepared pastry bag, then carefully pick up bag and hold the tip upright to prevent the batter from spilling out. Fill the soufflé cups half full.
5. Bake for 17 minutes. Cupcakes are done when you can apply light pressure to the top of the cupcake and it bounces back.
