Im sure you could. I would maybe reduce the amount of sour cream…just so it is not to tart tasting.

We loved the cupcakes. Next time I will double the icing recipe so we can have more icing for the top of the cupcakes. Thanks for sharing!

Can buttermilk be substituted for milk in this recipe?

This is quite possibly my new favorite frosting! I punched up the vanilla flavor by adding vanilla bean. LOVE IT!!

these were very good and not too hard to make. But they did not taste like red velveta cake. they were more like a spice cake. Really good!
