BAKE TIME: About 20 minutes
1. For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, sour cream, vanilla and eggs until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Turn the speed to low and add the dry ingredients. Blend until well combined, about 25 seconds.
