Talk-To-Me Tuesday: LemonBerry Cupcakes

I'm blogging late Monday night with this recipe for you, so you have a nice sweet treat to wake up to on Tuesday morning!

Here's my Lemonberry Cupcake!



Cupcake

• 1 1/3 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon ground lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract

Preheat oven to 350F, and line muffin tins with desired paper liners.

Mix ingredients and spoon into liners so they are 3/4 full

Bake for approx 20 mins (check after 15 mins)

Cool completely

Filling

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 pint of blueberries with 1/2cup sugar (adding sugar to taste), mashing the blueberries slightly to allow for the sugar to melt. Simmer, then cool.

Using a teaspoon, scoop out some of the cupcake. you can discard this...or eat immediately ;)

Once the filling is cool, use the teaspoon measure to fill each cupcake with the blueberry sauce

Frosting

1 cup butter
3 cups confectioners sugar (icing sugar, powdered sugar)
dash of vanilla, to taste

Frost using a piping bag and large star tip.

Garnish with lemon zest and a blueberry

Enjoy!!

(yield 12 cupcakes, but they won't last long...I promise!)
