Ingredients:

  • Swans down cake flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • Unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 8 ounces sour cream, at room temperature
  • Whole milk, at room temperature
  • Canola oil
  • Vanilla extract
  • Butter extract
  • Almond extract
  • 12 ounces can of evaporated milk
  • 4 ounces of Pecan halves

Directions:

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift 1 and 2/3 cup of cake flour, 1½ tsp of baking powder, and 1/8 tsp of salt, then give them a good stir until combined, add 1 stick of unsalted butter, ¼ cup of canola oil, and 1 and 1/3 cup of sugar, and mix them together over high speed for about 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add 2 large eggs one at a time while mixing over medium speed. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of whole milk, 1/3 cup of sour cream, 2 tsp of vanilla extract, 2 tsp of butter extract, and ½ tsp of almond extract until well combined, then stir them until well combined. Line the cupcake mold with cupcake liners, then preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Now, add 1 cup of the cake flour mixture and 1/3 cup of milk sour cream mixture to the batter, then mix them together over medium-low speed until combined. Add 2/3 cup of the cake flour mixture and 1/3 cup of milk sour cream mixture, then mix them together until well combined, transfer the cake batter to a piping bag, and fill the cupcake liners about ¾ full. Lightly shake the pan to remove air bubbles.

Step 2

Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean, then let them cool completely. While waiting prepare the praline topping. Chop 2/3 cup of pecan halves into small bite-sized pieces, then in a pot or saucepan, add 1½ cup of evaporated milk, 4 tbsp of unsalted butter, 1½ cup of sugar, and 1/8 tsp of salt, and stir them together until well combined. Let it come to a simmer and stir the mixture for about 12 minutes, then after the mixture has risen and cooked down, add 2/3 cup of chopped pecans and 2 tsp of vanilla extract, and stir everything together for about 6 minutes. Turn the heat off and continue stirring for 3 to 4 more minutes until the mixture has lightly thickened. Place the cupcakes on top of a baking pan or parchment paper, then top each cupcake with a spoonful of praline mixture, and let harden for 1 hour or up to overnight before serving.
