Monster Mash Berry Cupcakes
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Muffin Tin
- Oven
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed berries
- ½ cup cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with four paper liners.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the softened butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth.
- Gently mash half the mixed berries with a fork, then fold the mashed berries and the remaining whole berries into the batter to create a swirled effect.
- Divide the batter evenly among the four liners.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting over each cooled cupcake.
Notes
Mashing only half the berries keeps some whole pieces for texture while still tinting the batter a deep purple. If the cream cheese frosting feels too thick, stir in a teaspoon of milk to loosen it for easy spreading. These cupcakes store best in an airtight container at room temperature for one day or in the fridge for up to three days.
