Moist Cupcake Recipe From Scratch. Bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. I love how moist and spongy the cake is replicating boxed cake while also having the stability and density of a home-made made-from-scratch cake.
Beat sugar butter and shortening together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. I added a splash of almond extract to the recipe. Add the sour cream milk vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste.

Add the sour cream milk vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste. Bake for 5 minutes at 400º F. To make up the 12 cup of cocoa powder the recipe calls for I used 14 cup Hersheys Special Dark 100 Cacao and 14 cup Ghiradelli 100 cocoa to make sure the chocolate had a dark bold flavor. I came across your website and this recipe looking for a perfect vanilla cake recipe for Easter.
