BERRY CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

I am IN LOVE this gorgeous frosting!

Swirling frosting is always so appealing to the eye and kids always want to dive right in because it reminds them of soft serve ice cream. My Marble Cupcakes are very popular at parties and special occasions because they are so pretty and delicious. Having two flavors in one is always a big hit.

These blueberry and strawberry filled cupcakes will be very popular for July 4th celebration. Fresh berry flavors are perfect for summer desserts and you get the traditional “red, white, and blue” colors in one cupcake. Of course, the cupcakes are not exactly white but you can make them whiter by using white cake batter instead of yellow cake.

For these cupcakes, you can make it a little easier on yourself and use a cake mix. I used vanilla cake mix to compliment the flavors of the berries.

If you want to make homemade cupcakes, use my Blueberry Key Lime Cupcake recipe without adding key lime zest. Those cupcakes always come out fluffy, moist, and soft. They have not failed me yet.

**Whether you will be using homemade cupcakes or a cake mix, note that this frosting recipe will frost about 18 cupcakes, depending on how generous or stingy you are with the frosting.**

Ingredients

  • 1 box of white cake mix
  • + ingredients listed in instruction on the box
  • Blueberry filling:
  • 1 1/4 cups blueberries
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • Strawberry Filling:
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped strawberries
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • Frosting:
  • 2 8 oz packs of cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • *You will add some blueberry and some strawberry filling from above

Instructions

  • *You can make berry fillings ahead of time or right before starting the cupcakes. If making berries ahead of time, place the fillings in separate jars with a lid and keep in the fridge until ready to use.*
  • In a small sauce pot, over medium heat, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Cover and bring to simmer. Take off the lid and let the berries simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Follow the same process for strawberries. In a small sauce pot, over medium heat, combine strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Cover and bring to simmer. Take off the lid and let the berries simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Puree strawberries and blueberries (separately). Transfer into two separate small jars and set aside until ready to use.
  • Cupcakes:
  • Follow package instruction to prepare the cupcakes.
  • Let cupcakes cool completely.
  • Frosting:
  • Beat butter and cream cheese together, on medium-high speed, until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Lower the speed to low and beat in powder sugar and vanilla.
  • Turn up the speed back to medium-high and beat for a couple more minutes, until the frosting is light, smooth and fluffy.
  • Take out half the frosting.
  • Whisk in 1 1/2 Tbsp of blueberry filling to one half and 1 1/2 Tbsp of strawberry filling to another half.
  • Fill two separate piping bags with blueberry and strawberry frosting. Cut off tips about ¼ inch wide and add them, side by side into one piping bag, fitted with a frosting tip. Tie a rubber band on the end of the piping bags to keep the frosting in. (You may need to refill the piping bags a couple of times.)
  • Finishing cupcakes:
  • Using a small cookie dough scoop (or a melon baller), scoop out some of the cupcake on top and then, fill each cupcake hole with a little over a teaspoon of strawberry or blueberry filling.
  • Frost each cupcake with prepared blueberry/strawberry frosting.

    Do you use fresh or frozen blueberries and strawberries?

      I used fresh berries but you can also use frozen just defrost them first and gently pat them a little dry with a paper towel.

    This is a great recipe! I prepared the cupcakes and frosting as directed in the recipe. I made mini-cupcakes. I did not cut out any of the cupcake, but instead squirted some filling in to each one with a syringe. They were beautiful and delicious!
