Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and sour cream. Mix on medium speed just until the ingredients are fully blended. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar, then continue mixing until everything is well incorporated. Line a standard muffin pan with cupcake liners and fill each liner about two-thirds full with the batter. Bake the cupcakes at 350°F for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for five minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
