Ingredients

Blueberry lime cupcakes:

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda. Keep aside. 
  • In a separate mixing bowl, add all the wet ingredients: buttermilk, whole milk, butter, egg, zests, extracts. Mix until smooth. 
  • Dump the dry ingredient mixture into the bowl of wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Don’t over-mix! You may have some lumps but don’t worry about them.
  • In a small bowl, add the blueberries and 1 tablespoon flour. Mix them with a spoon until the blueberries are fully coated in flour.
  • Stir these coated blueberries into your cake batter gently.
  • Pour this batter into cupcake liners and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • While your cupcakes are baking, make the cream cheese icing. You can even add some additional lemon/lime zest, lemon/lime extract if you like. 
  • Once your cupcakes have cooled down and come to room temperature, frost them in icing. Sprinkle some lemon/ lime zest and stick a blueberry on top of each cupcake. Enjoy!
