Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
How to Make Blueberry Cream Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove a small section from the center of each cupcake. Fill the center with extra blueberries or a blueberry compote if desired.
- Top each cupcake with a generous swirl of the whipped frosting. Decorate with additional blueberries if you like.

Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming. Don’t overmix the batter after adding the flour; this will keep your cupcakes light and fluffy. For an extra blueberry kick, consider adding a blueberry glaze on top of the frosting.
Easy Variations
- Substitute raspberries or strawberries for a different berry flavor.
- Add lemon zest to the batter for a citrus twist.
- Use cream cheese frosting instead of whipped cream for a richer flavor.
- Incorporate a layer of blueberry jam in the cupcake for an extra burst of flavor.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
- A cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Lemonade or iced tea for a perfect summer pairing.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, consume them within the first two days. If you prefer to enjoy them warm, you can microwave them for about 10-15 seconds.
