Cupcake Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3–4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Next, add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
- Gradually incorporate the whole milk into the batter, stirring until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon, and drizzle in melted butter to create a thick paste.
- Fill each cupcake liner about a quarter full with batter, add a spoonful of cinnamon-sugar paste, then top with more batter.
- Use a toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon paste into the batter.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Mix the powdered sugar, additional milk, and a splash of vanilla extract to create a smooth glaze and drizzle over the cooled cupcakes.

Notes
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before drizzling glaze for the best results; warm cupcakes will cause the glaze to run off.
