Enjoy the fresh and zesty flavors of these Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes, perfect for a delightful treat.

You will need:

For the cupcakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

For the lemon cream cheese frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the lemon cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until well combined. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the lemon cream cheese frosting.
  9. Serve and enjoy your Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes!
