Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (tossed in 1 tbsp flour)

For the Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1-2 tbsp milk (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the blueberries gently.
  7. Fill cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

For the Frosting:

  1. Beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest, beating on low.
  2. Add milk as needed to achieve desired consistency, and beat until fluffy.
  3. Frost cooled cupcakes and garnish with extra lemon zest or blueberries.

Notes

  • Tossing blueberries in flour helps prevent them from sinking in the batter.
  • Adjust lemon juice and zest in the frosting to suit your taste.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
