Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lime zest for garnish
  • Lime slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the vanilla extract, lime zest, and milk until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the fresh blackberries.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the cream cheese filling by beating the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lime juice until smooth.
  9. Once cupcakes are cool, core the center of each cupcake and fill with the cream cheese mixture.
  10. Frost with your choice of frosting and top with extra blackberries, lime zest, and a slice of lime.
  11. Garnish with lime zest and fresh blackberries before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better texture.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.
  • If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them before folding them into the batter.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let them come to room temperature before serving.
