Ingredients

Ingredients for Blueberry Lemon Cupcakes:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • lemon zest from 1 lemon
  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries

Ingredients for Cream Cheese Lemon Frosting:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • lemon zest from 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with 9 muffin liners inside. Set it aside.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl sift all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
  • In another large mixing bowl whisk together softened butter and granulated sugar (you can use a mixer or a whisk). Add eggs, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract, and lemon zest, whisking constantly in between.
  • Add dry ingredients into the mixture. Using a spatula, fold it together until smooth. Do not over mix.
  • Add blueberries to the mixture and fold it together.
  • Divide this batter between 12 muffin liners. Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. When it is ready, take it out and set aside to cool off for about 10 minutes. Place the muffins on a wire rack.
  • For the frosting, in a large bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese together on a medium/high speed until softened.
  • Gradually, add powdered sugar and mix it for a couple of minutes until smooth consistency.
  • Add milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest and mix again.
  • When the cupcakes are completely cooled off, top them with the cream cheese frosting using a piping tip.
  • As an option, you can decorate the cupcakes with fresh blueberries, mint leaves, and lemon zest. Enjoy!
