I used this recipe for a shower cake I made back in August (which I'm still hoping to get a photo of, it was beatiful), and it was great. The sour cream makes it so tender and I love almond flavor. I adapted this a bit from Paula Deen's recipe, adding baking powder to make the cupcakes rise more, and omitting the orange and upping the almond. I iced these with basic buttercream and sprinkles to make turkeys!

I love adding sour cream to my pancakes - it makes them so moist.
I know this post is super old but I've had it bookmarked forever. Do you remember how many cupcakes it made? Think I could use low fat sour cream?
