Ingredients:
For the cupcakes:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tbsp lemon zest
– 2 tbsp lemon juice
– 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For the lemon cream cheese frosting:
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3 cups powdered sugar
– 1 tbsp lemon zest
– 2 tbsp lemon juice
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
4. Combine and add blueberries: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
5. Fill cupcake liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Prepare lemon cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until well combined. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
8. Frost cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the lemon cream cheese frosting.
9. Serve: Enjoy your Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes!
