Blueberry Cupcakes recipe with Blueberry Icing and Cream Cheese Filling
Cupcake Recipe
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 tspn vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tspn baking soda
1 tspn baking powder
1/2 tspn salt
3/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cup blueberries, washed and dried
Blueberry Filling (if you have none available!)
1/2 cup blueberries
1 tbspn water
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tspn cornstarch plus 1 tbspn water
Icing
3/4 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 tspn vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup blueberry filling/jam
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line your muffin tin with the cups.
Sift together the dry ingredients, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and set aside.
In a mixer on medium speed add the butter and white sugar.
Mix until smooth.
Add in the eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla.
Reduce speed to low and add in the sour cream and flour mixture in three additions (take turns adding 1/3 each time).
Fold in the blueberries by hand to keep them from breaking.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the tops are a light golden.
Cool for five minutes in the muffin tin, then remove them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Make the icing.
Mix together the butter and cream cheese on medium-high speed until it’s fluffy.
Add the vanilla and confectioners’ sugar in 1/3 cups at a time.
Allow each cup to incorporate fully before you add the next 3/4 cup. Set aside 3/4 cup for the cupcake filling.
If you do not have your own blueberry jam it’s easy to make a replica!
It won’t be as sweet as most jams, but I prefer it this way and brings the flavors of the cupcake together.
Add your blueberries, water and sugar to a small pot and cook on high until it is boiling.
Remove from the heat.
Mix together the cornstarch and water with a fork and slowly pour it into the pot of blueberries.
Stir until it becomes thick.
Fill the sink or a large bowl with water and place the bottom of the pot in the cold water to bring it to a colder temperature.
Mix the filling fast so that you break up all the blueberries in the process.
You can also use a potato masher.
Remove the middle of the cupcakes.
If you don’t have a tool to do this you can always push down the middle with a kitchen utensil that has a round handle.
Fill a piping bag with the cream cheese icing and fill each cupcake center with it.
Now that your icing is finished and your blueberry filling is cool add a big scoop, about 1/4 cup, to the center of the bowl.
Do not mix!
Now scoop it all into another piping bag.
Starting from the outside of the cupcakes start piping the icing onto these amazing desserts!
Keep refrigerated for up to three days.
Best if removed from the fridge for at least 30 minutes before you enjoy them!
But really, the best way to enjoy these is right after they are finished being made.
Enjoy!
Tip
remember to use a piping tip (or cut the hole on the piping bag) large enough to fit any blueberry pieces through!
