Chocolate and Blackberry Cupcakes

I love this time of year – we have a load of bramble bushes growing on a lane at the back of our house and all the blackberries are ripe now. As well as the usual crumbles and jams I like to bake with blackberries, so these chocolate and blackberry cupcakes are the perfect seasonal sweet treat.

The base of the cupcake is a chocolate cupcake, filled with blackberry jam and topped off with blackberry buttercream (which is made using blackberry coulis). These are DELISH!

Here’s the recipe.

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • 12 Hole Muffin Tin
  • Weighing Scales
  • Cupcake Wrappers
  • Jug
  • Ice Cream Scoop
  • Silicon Spatula
  • 2D Piping Nozzle
  • Piping Bag

Ingredients
  

For the Cupcakes

  • 170 grams caster sugar
  • 170 gramss Stork or unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 3 eggs
  • 175 grams self raising flour
  • 50 grams cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 teaspoons blackberry jam

For the Blackberry Buttercream

  • 250 grams unsalted butter
  • 500 grams icing sugar, sifted
  • 50 mililitres blackberry coulis

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180ºC/160ºC Fan/Gas 4. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with cupcake wrappers. I like to use cupcake wrappers from Purple Cupcakes.
  • In a stand mixer, or large bowl using a hand mixer, cream together the Stork/butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Crack the eggs into a jug and lightly whisk. Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mix, then the vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour and cocoa powder, mixing until only just combined – don't overmix. Fill the cupcake wrappers until approximately two thirds full using the ice cream scoop (or spoons, if you prefer).
  • Bake for around 18-20 minutes until ready. A skewer or toothpick inserted into the top of the cupcake will come out clean when they're ready. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
  • When the cupcakes are cool, use an apple corer or similar to remove a section from the middle of each cupcake. Add a teaspoon of blackberry jam as a filling. You could also just use a knife for this.

For the Buttercream

  • Add the icing sugar and butter to your stand mixer and mix together well. Add the blackberry coulis, being sure to mix well. Using a piping bag and a 2D piping nozzle, pipe a swirl of buttercream on top of each cupcake, and top with a fresh blackberry. Enjoy with a cup of tea 🙂

Recipe Variations

Use strawberry jam in the middle of the cupcakes.

Replace the cocoa with self raising flour to have vanilla cupcakes with blackberry buttercream.

Top the cupcakes with a raspberry buttercream like these Lemon and Raspberry Cupcakes.

How Long Do These Blackberry Cupcakes Store?

Stored in an air tight container, these cupcakes should last for up to 3 days. As they are based on a Madeira cake recipe, the cupcakes will stay moister for longer. You can also freeze the cupcakes – simply pop them in a tub before adding the buttercream and they should keep for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw out before adding the buttercream swirl topping. Be aware that freezing and thawing cupcakes may cause the cupcake cases to peel away from the actual cupcakes however.
