Cranberry Cupcakes

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup canned whole-berry cranberry sauce
• 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 cup canned whole-berry cranberry sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Dried cranberries, for topping

1. Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
3. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until fluffy, about 3 more minutes.
5. Reduce the speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated, about 1 minute.
6. Add the sour cream and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
7. Divide the batter among the muffin cups.
8. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about22 minutes.
9. Let sit until cool enough to handle, then gently press the back of a small spoon into the center of each cupcake to make an indentation.
10. Fill each indentation with a few teaspoons of cranberry sauce.
11. Remove the cupcakes to a rack to cool completely.
12. Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat the butter and 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until combined, about 2 minutes.
13. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; gradually add the remaining 2 cups confectioners' sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
14. Increase the speed to medium high; beat in the cranberry sauce, vanilla and salt until combined.
15. Spread the frosting on the cupcakes and top with dried cranberries.
