1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
2 large eggs
½ cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract

For the frosting

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
3 tbsp heavy cream
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
food coloring (optional)

For serving

sprinkles (optional)
