Blueberry Cupcakes with Whipped Frosting are light, fluffy treats bursting with fresh blueberries and topped with a cloud-like whipped vanilla frosting, perfect for parties, brunches, or anytime indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
  • 1 tablespoon flour (for tossing blueberries)
  • Whipped Frosting:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture.
  5. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour, then gently fold into the batter.
  6. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  8. For the frosting, beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  9. Pipe or spread whipped frosting onto cooled cupcakes. Decorate with extra blueberries if desired.

Notes

  • Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for best results.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding blueberries to prevent bleeding.
  • Cupcakes are best served the same day due to the whipped cream frosting.
