LEMON BLUEBERRY CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Lemon-Blueberry Cake Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare muffin tin with cupcake papers. Sift dry ingredients into medium bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon flour mixture to larger bowl. Add fresh blueberries and toss to coat them with flour. Set remaining flour mixture and blueberries aside. Stir whole milk, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon extract and lemon zest in small bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar, until pale yellow and very fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, until well combined. Mix in flour mixture alternately with milk mixture, starting and ending with flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Gently fold in blueberries. Divide batter equally among cupcake cups. Bake cakes until toothpick inserted into center of a couple cupcakes comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in pans on racks for about 10 minutes, then put onto racks until completely cool. Makes 24-26 cupcakes. Update: If you would like your cupcakes generously filled double this recipe. Lemon Curd Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and add the lemon juice and zest. Mix together the sugar, salt and cornstarch and add it to the pan. Whisk in the egg yolks until smooth and return to heat. Cook over medium-low heat for roughly 10 minutes until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Once thickened, strain the mixture though a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. Allow to chill in the refrigerator completely before using. Lemon Mascarpone Frosting: Beat the sugar and cream to soft peaks in your mixer. Combine the mascarpone and lemon curd in a separate bowl and mix. Add the cream to the mascarpone mixture. Gently fold to combine, take your time and be gentle. If the mixture is overworked it can separate or look grainy. To fix this add several tablespoons of heavy cream and mix with the spatula until smooth again. Assembly: First measure out the 2/3 cup of lemon curd for the frosting and set aside. After the cupcakes are finished cooling, cut a cone shape out of the middle and remove the tops and put a tablespoon or so of lemon curd in the whole. Then place the tops back on (you may have to trim the cone a bit to get it to fit). I piped on the frosting with a large star tip but you could put it on however you like. Garnish with a washed and dried blueberry and yellow jimmys.

LEMON BASIL BLUEBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

• Put all of the ingredients for the filling in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and frequently stir. The filling is done once it darkens in color, the blueberries have started to decompose, and the mixture starts to thicken. Put the filling in a bowl and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes or just until it is cool and thickens slightly.
• Use a melon baller and put one scoop of batter in each cupcake liner. This will be about 1/4 full. Add a spoonful of filling on the top of each cupcake. Use the remaining batter to put on top of the filling. Bake the cupcakes for 20 minutes.
• Make sure the butter for the frosting is room temperature. Combine all of the frosting ingredients, gradually adding the powdered sugar and the finely chopped basil last.

BOOZY BLUEBERRY LEMON CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Blueberry Filling: In a medium saucepan, add in the sugar and cornstarch. Whisk to incorporate the cornstarch into the sugar. This will help prevent lumps when heating. Whisk in the lemon juice and the fresh blueberries. Mash the blueberries in the saucepan once the heat softens them a bit. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let boil for 4 minutes until thick. Be sure to stir constantly. The filling will become clear rather than cloudy and blue/purple. Place in a bowl and cover. Chill in the fridge.
• Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake papers in the cupcake pan. In a mixing bowl, add in the butter, sugar and oil. Mix until light and fluffy. This will take about 2 minutes. Add in the room temperature eggs one at a time and mix until combined. Once they are mixed in, turn the hand mixer to high and beat for another 3 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and very pale. This is crucial otherwise the cake will fall. Measure out the milk, limoncello, lemon extract and zest. Set aside. Measure out the cake flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add a third of the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Beat just until combined. Add half of the milk and beat until just combined. Repeat adding another third of the flour then the rest of the milk. Finish with the last bit of flour. Scoop out the batter and place in the cupcake liners. Only fill about ⅔ full. Place in the oven and bake for 17 minutes or until done. Place a toothpick in the center of the cupcakes and if it comes out clean or with moist crumbs it's done. If there's still batter, give it another minute or two. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Once completely cooled, cut out holes in the center of the cupcakes. Only go about three-quarter of the way down the cupcake for the holes. Place the chilled blueberry filling in each of the cupcakes. Keep the filling flush with the cupcakes and not peaking out of the top. If you want to get real boozy, add a ½ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of limoncello to the top of the cupcake. Don't oversaturate it, otherwise you'll have a soggy cupcake.
• Limoncello Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter. Mix until the butter is creamy. Add in the lemon juice, limoncello, and powdered sugar. Mix on low until the powdered sugar is almost completely incorporated. Turn mixer on high and beat for about 1 to 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Place a 1M piping tip into a disposable piping bag. Line one crease of the piping back with the yellow gel food color. Fill bag with the frosting. Pipe nice tall swirls on each cupcake. Garnish with a lemon zest curl and fresh blueberry. Serve!
