Blackberry Icing for Cupcakes image

This is a simple icing recipe that I found in Parents magazine. It's a BIG hit at the office. I imagine you could make this with different berries as well but haven't tried it yet. Use your own cake recipe or box mix.

Time 50m

Yield 24 cupcakes, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 ounce) package white cake mix or 1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
3 eggs (or as called for by your cake mix)
1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 cup fresh blackberries
24 blackberries (to garnish)
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 3/4 cups powdered sugar, divided
1/3 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Prepare cake mix according to package directions, making 24 cupcakes. Allow to cool.
  • Puree 1 cup of blackberries in food processor or blender. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Work through with a spatula if needed.
  • In large bowl, beat butter on medium-high speed about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  • Add blackberry puree, 3 cups of powdered sugar, and salt. Beat on low until sugar incorporates into the butter, then increase speed to medium-high to mix.
  • Add remaining powdered sugar, a little at a time, until the icing reaches your preferred consistency.
  • Pipe onto cupcakes using a large star tip.
  • Top each with a blackberry.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour. (Good served cold!).
