Ingredients

Cupcakes

Lemon cream cheese frosting

For decorating

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line a 12 hole cupcake tin with paper cupcake liners and set aside.
  • Add the softened butter and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on a high speed with a flat beater attachment until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, lemon juice and grated lemon zest and beat on a medium-high speed until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula as necessary.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the bowl and beat on a low speed until just combined. Add the milk and beat once again on a low speed until just combined. Fold through the blueberries.
  • Fill the cupcake liners ⅔ full with the cupcake batter. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • To make the lemon cream cheese frosting, add the softened cream cheese and softened butter to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat with a wire whisk attachment on a high speed until smooth and creamy. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat once again until well combined.
  • Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and beat on a low speed between each addition, until well combined. Increase the speed to high, and beat for 1 minute or until fluffy.
  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag and pipe over the cooled cupcakes. Decorate with additional blueberries and lemon zest, if using.
