Blackberry Lemonade Cupcakes

Blackberry Lemonade Cupcakes! Indulge in these sweet and satisfying blackberry lemonade cupcakes – perfect for morning or afternoon tea with just the right amount of sweetness!

I love to bake cupcakes, in fact, I’m a little obsessed with it! Today is my roommates, my little brother’s birthday. I sure like Dan. So I decided to make up something new.

I thought it would be a little bit of an adventure, but it seemed to work out nicely. Dan had mentioned that he loved blackberries and it’s summer, and I associated lemonade with summer so here we are!

You’re probably thinking, “why does this girl have so much time on her hands?” Well, I’m a high school teacher, and what better way to spend my summer than making new cupcake recipes, so enjoy the Blackberry lemonade cupcakes!

P.S. this was a great experiment, they taste awesome!!!

Blackberry Lemonade Cupcakes Ingredients:

Lemonade Cake:

1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups of cake flour

1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon of salt

2 cups of sugar

3 eggs

1 stick of butter

zest of 2 lemons

1/4 C. lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 C. milk

1/2 C. sour cream

Lemon Glaze:

zest of a lemon

1/4 C. lemon juice

1 2/3 C. powdered sugar

Blackberry Buttercream:

3 sticks of butter, softened

5-6 C. powdered sugar until
desired consistency

3/4 C. blackberry puree (Use a
blender to blend them, I used a magic bullet because the blend Tec didn’t get
all the blackberries chopped.

directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners.

2. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large separate bowl.

3. Cream butter and sugar in a stand mixer then combine eggs, zest, lemon juice, vanilla, milk, and sour cream until smooth.

4. Stir in dry ingredients.

5. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 17-22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

6. Glaze: Combine all ingredients in a bowl (using a whisk or fork is easiest).

7. Buttercream: Beat butter until smooth. Add enough powdered sugar to make the frosting stiff, then slowly add in blackberry puree 1 Tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

8. Spoon glaze over warm cupcakes and let set.

9. When the glaze is firm, pipe frosting on top and finishes with a fresh blackberry and a lemon peel.
