Lemon Blackberry Cupcakes

Pin

Ingredient

1 box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Lemon Cake Mix
3 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Blackberry Buttercream Frosting

1 cup butter, room temperature
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup blackberries
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place cupcake liners in 15 regular-size muffin cups. Set aside.

Step 2
Combine cake mix, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, lemon zest and lemon extract in a large bowl. Whisk together until combined.

Step 3
Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full, and bake for 15-17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside and allow the cupcakes to cool completely, about 30-45 minutes.

Step 4
Meanwhile, in large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add room temperature butter and beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy and light. Then begin adding powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, ensuring all sugar is fully incorporated prior to adding the next 1/2 cup. Once all the powdered sugar is added, add the blackberries and a pinch of salt. Continue to mix for another 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy.

Step 5
Spoon or pipe buttercream onto the tops of the cupcakes, and garnish with any additional blackberries.
