  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time and then mix in the vanilla extract.

Top Tips for Perfecting Blueberries & Cream Cupcakes:

  • Fresh Blueberries: Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but if you must use frozen, be sure to gently fold them in to prevent the batter from turning purple.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter and fluffier cupcakes.
  • Don’t Overmix: When mixing the batter, be careful not to overmix once you add the flour. This helps keep the cupcakes light and tender.

Storing and Reheating Tips:

To keep your Blueberries & Cream Cupcakes fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you need to keep them longer, freeze them (without frosting) for up to 3 months. To enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature before frosting.
