Step-by-Step Instructions for Almond Cupcakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg, oil, sour cream, water, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Whisk together for 2-3 minutes until well blended.
  3. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in another bowl. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Distribute the batter evenly into the lined cupcake pan, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
