Ingredients
  

For the Cupcakes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it's at room temperature.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs Best if at room temperature.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping) For best flavor, use fresh blueberries.
For the Cream Frosting
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time and then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the blueberries gently.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  2. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Frosting
  1. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  2. Once the cupcakes are fully cooled, frost them generously with the cream frosting and top with extra blueberries.

Notes

Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If needed, freeze them (without frosting) for up to 3 months. Let them thaw at room temperature before frosting.
