These muffins are so good; moist, soft, light, rich in flavor. This recipe is from my Ma, it is her Sour Cream Coffee Cake that I simply poured into muffin cups so that each child could have their own “cake.” My children love these muffins, since they get one all to themselves. But here is what is making me giddy…
Have you ever seen anything like it or do I just live under a rock? My local Whole Foods uses this product for their cupcakes and I hounded the baker there until she gave me the name of their supplier. After a few calls, I found NOVACART and they said that I should sample the products before purchasing to insure I liked them. They eagerly sent a few samples and I tried and I liked. These are Paper Ovenable Muffin Trays which come in trays of 24 or 12, I sampled the 12. They are perforated in order to be separated once baked or you may even bake as many muffins, cupcakes, or quiches as you want, you will need to place them on a tray for baking though. They are free standing, do not require grease, and are so cute with that little ruffle once separated from the frame.
Just think, no more washing those nasty muffin pans. Mine look so gross from all the years of baking in them. Another product of Novacart’s that I like is their Tulip Cups.
They come in three sizes and two colors; white or brown. I like the brown. I think anything made in these is glamorous. These do require muffin pans as they are not stand alone. Boo, back to washing but they are worth it!
Sour Cream Muffin Cakes
1 1/2 cups AP flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
In a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients until well blended. Pour 1/3 cup into a standard paper muffin liners in a muffin pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 16 minutes or until toothpick come out clean. I like to sprinkle mine with cinnamon sugar before baking. Makes about 12-14 muffins.

Send 2 my way please. The coffee is brewing.
I love visiting my restaurant supply store to purchase all kinds of fun baking and packaging items.
Happy baking.
P.S. If you do happen to bake too many cupcakes or muffins, you can send the extras to me.
Oh, I love those tulip cups. So pretty in brown!
Wonder if you could add blueberries to these… I have a bunch sitting on the counter and was looking for a blueberry sour cream bread or muffin to bake them in. What do you think?

They look so moist!
Hi, Robin Sue! These sound (yours look even more tender) and look kinda like the ones I made! I was looking for the recipe but I'll just use yours!
Those disposable muffin tins are pretty darn cool and I think you're right anything baked in those paper tulip is going to look gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

Oooh Robin Sue those cup cake trays & liners are fabulous, just so cute. I must take a walk to my local restaurant supply to check out their goodies…
Speaking of goodies, those muffins rock!!!! Looking so good & moist, send a couple this way
Michelle I think blueberries would be great in this muffin. A trick I have learned is to coat the blueberries in flour before adding them to the muffin, this will help a little in keeping them all from sinking to the bottom.
I don't make muffins just because I dislike washing up so much. I'm gonna head straight to my Whole Foods to see if they have them…and I love those tulip cups, too! THanks.
Robin…I love the recipe but those tulip cups are soooo cute!
Hi Robin Sue, Love the idea of these muffin cups. Thanks for researching it for all of us. Your Ma's recipes are all good.
When I was little, my mom used to bring home these amazing cream cheese muffins from the hospital where she worked – these look very similar.
What a great idea! I don't make muffins too often to warrant this purchase – but too cool!
Have a great weekend!!
i've seen no such cups, but that's okay–regardless of the surrounding material, these muffins would be stellar. good call on the cinnamon sugar…
Haven't seen those trays before, but they look like a great idea! Purposely not clicking on the link – too dangerous!
These muffins look so lovely & very tasty!
I would like to savour at least 2 of them,…please?
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM…
Schweetness! Those muffin pans look pretty nifty. And the little cakes sound great!
The muffins look amazing, and those trays are just so cool! Someone gave me silicon muffin cups where you bake each one in an individual cup and put them all on a baking tray, haven't tried them yet though.
Robin the muffins look awesome. I will be making those next week. I'll go in with you on a purchase of the liners or tulip things.
Great ideas as always. I will have to get some of these things and some restaurant depot items before school starts again. By the way, I am interested in you doing a presentation to the moms at school on breakfast and lunch and snack packing ideas for the school year; can we have a date?
Nope, you are not living under a rock, I've never heard/seen those either! How clever!!
I HATE washing my muffin tins!!
Thanks for the info Robin Sue!
Oh these look just fabulous. I must make soon for my playgroup.
The muffins look great! I only wish I had something of this sort in India!!
I've never seen those before, but will be checking out their website soon!
I love that you made the cake into mini-cakes so everyone could have their own… truly a fantastic idea!
One of the first things my Mother taught me about baking, is that if it has sour cream in it- it's good. She was right. These look amazingly moist and delicious.
OK these were FABULOUS–they will be up on my blog tomorrow. Super easy, super tasty, so tender and light and rich all at once. Seriously good, the kids and moms went nuts for them!
Love this! And they looks so tasty too.
