Instructions
For the Cupcakes
- While the oven is preheating to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, line 12 muffin tins with paper liners.
- Milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract should be mixed together in a large bowl using a whisk.
- Whisk the sugar in after adding it to the mixture.
- At this point, incorporate the flour and baking powder. Stir the mixture until there are no large lumps left.
- It is important to avoid overmixing the cake batter, so add the chopped blackberries and gently fold them into the batter. Add the berries and mix until they are completely incorporated.
- Proceed to divide the cake batter among the muffin tins, ensuring that each one is filled with approximately ¼ cup of the batter.
- Bake for fifteen to seventeen minutes, or until a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
- The cupcakes should be removed to a wire rack and allowed to cool completely before being frosted.
For the Blackberry Buttercream

- The bowl of a stand mixer that is equipped with the paddle attachment should be filled with the butter that has been softened. Beat the butter at a medium speed for about thirty seconds, or until it becomes lighter in texture.
- Powdered sugar should be added gradually while the mixer is operating at a low speed.
- The blackberry jam and vanilla extract should be added after the powdered sugar has been completely incorporated into the mixture.
- Using the mixer, increase the speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for one to two minutes, or until it is fluffy and light like air.
- Place the buttercream in a piping bag, and then use the bag to decorate the cupcakes in the manner of your choosing.
- You can keep any leftover cupcakes in the refrigerator for up to two days if you store them in an airtight container.
Notes
- The cupcakes are kept moist with milk, which prevents them from drying out. I am using whole milk, but you can use any milk that you have available to you.
- The richness of the cupcakes is enhanced by the vegetable oil.
- To prevent the cake batter from becoming too crumbly, eggs are used to keep it together.
- The sweetness of the sugar and the flavor of the blackberries are both enhanced by the addition of vanilla.
- Sweetening the cupcakes is done with granulated sugar.
- The structure of the cupcakes is provided by the flour; however, it is important to ensure that your measuring cup is level because adding an excessive amount of flavor can result in dry cupcakes.
- The cupcakes are able to maintain their light and fluffy texture thanks to the baking powder.
- Adding chopped blackberries to the cupcakes not only enhances the flavor of blackberries but also gives them a delicious texture.
- Butter is what gives the frosting its structure; if you want to avoid having lumpy buttercream, you need to make sure that it has completely melted.
- Although powdered sugar is used to sweeten the frosting, you are free to add a little bit more or a little bit less to achieve the consistency of the icing that you desire.
- In addition to imparting a delectable flavor, blackberry jam also imparts a stunning color to the buttercream. I prefer seedless because seeds have the potential to clog the tip of the piping bag.
