Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and sour cream to the large bowl, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
- Pour in the whole milk and blend until the batter is completely smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon, then drizzle in the melted butter to create a paste-like consistency.
- Spoon the cupcake batter into each liner, filling halfway full. Add a swirl of the cinnamon mixture on top, then cover with more batter.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the frosting, adjusting milk quantity for desired consistency.
- Once cooled, drizzle the creamy frosting generously over each cupcake.

Notes
Avoid overmixing to keep the cupcakes fluffy. Cool completely before frosting.
