Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup milk
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• Additional blueberries for garnish

How to Make Blueberry Cupcakes with Creamy Frosting

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
11. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form and the frosting is smooth and creamy.
12. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost each cupcake generously with the creamy vanilla frosting and top with additional blueberries for garnish.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
• Gently fold the blueberries into the batter to prevent them from breaking.
• Avoid overmixing to keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.
• For a more intense blueberry flavor, you can use frozen blueberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them first.

Easy Variations

• Swap out blueberries for other berries like raspberries or strawberries.
• Add lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus twist.
• Mix in a teaspoon of almond extract for a different flavor profile.
• For a chocolate twist, fold in mini chocolate chips along with the blueberries.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert pairing.
• A cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• Whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
