Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with 12 liners.

  3. In another bowl, combine milk, egg whites, sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract; whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold until just combined.
  5. Using a scooper, fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and springy; cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
