Delightful White Chocolate Blueberry Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cups unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups white chocolate, melted and cooled
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1 Prise fresh blueberries for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the sour cream and milk to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed through the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined. Add the melted white chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is fluffy and spreadable. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, frost them generously with the white chocolate frosting using a piping bag or a spatula.
- Top each frosted cupcake with a few fresh blueberries for decoration.
- Serve the cupcakes fresh and enjoy the delightful combination of white chocolate and blueberries!
💡 Chef's Notes
For best results, use fresh blueberries and serve the cupcakes the same day they are made.
