Blackberry lemon cupcakes

















One of my favourite Swedish blogs is called Sota Saker and has a challenge called Manadens sotsak (the sweet thing of the month). I have wanted to enter this challenge for a while now and this month I actually will. The theme is Colourful and I hope my first cupcakes ever made will be up to the standard.

Muffin
50 grams butter, melted
1 egg
70 grams caster sugar
120 grams plain flour
1tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
100ml milk
1 lemon, zest only
3tbsp blackberry jam

Beat sugar and egg until very fluffy and pale. Combine flour, bakingpowder and salt. Sieve the flour-mix and fold in to the egg/sugar-mix. Last add milk, melted butter and lemon zest. I made small cupcakes so I got 9 muffins out of this batch. Fill muffincups to 2/3 and add a small teaspoon of blackberry jam to each muffin. Bake for 10min on 200C, ot until a skewer comes out clean. Let cool down while making the frosting

Frosting
100 grams icing sugar
35 grams butter, roomtemerature
40 grams philadelphia cream cheese
1tbsp lemon juice
2tbsp blackberry jam+2tbsp boiling water water
lemon jelly pieces (dr.oetker)

Mix jam and hot water, the idea is to let the jam melt a little so you can sieve the jam and get rid of the seeds. Set a side and let cool down.
Beat icing sugar, butter and lemonjuice until smooth and fluffy. Add cream cheese and jam, beat again until all ingredients are properly mixed together.

Spread the frosting on top of the cukcakes and decorate with a little lemon jelly. Chill a little to let the frosting set before you dig into your cupcake.
