½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup 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.
1 large egg
¼ cup sour cream
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the frosting

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 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.
