At the end of the day, we made 105 cupcakes &#8211; including these classic vanilla cupcakes with a chocolate cream cheese frosting.

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, and vanilla.<\/p>\n<p>4. Add half the flour mixture, the milk\/sour cream\/flour\/sour cream in batches &#8211; mixing well after each addition. Fill 16 cupcake papers 2\/3 full and bake for 16 to 20 minutes.
