Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F (175°C) and arranging cupcake liners in a muffin tin for optimal baking conditions.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, ensuring a smooth and well-integrated dry ingredient base.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light, airy, and peaks form easily, creating a smooth foundation for the cupcakes.
- Introduce eggs individually into the butter mixture, thoroughly incorporating each one before adding vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with milk to maintain a consistent and smooth batter texture.
- Gently fold fresh blueberries and white chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly to ensure each cupcake receives a balanced blend of flavors.
- Carefully spoon the batter into prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow proper rising during baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack, preventing moisture condensation.
- Prepare the frosting by whipping butter until creamy, then gradually incorporating powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream for a smooth consistency.
- Melt white chocolate and fold it into the frosting mixture, creating a rich and decadent topping.
- Once cupcakes are fully cooled, generously frost each one using a piping bag or spatula for an elegant finish.
- Optional: Garnish with additional fresh blueberries and white chocolate chips to enhance visual appeal and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Choose fresh, plump blueberries for the most vibrant flavor and best texture in your cupcakes.
- Toss blueberries in a light dusting of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
