Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat ½ cup softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually alternate adding the dry mixture and ½ cup milk to the butter mixture, ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

- Spoon the batter into prepared cupcake liners until filled ⅔ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- To make frosting, beat together ½ cup softened unsalted butter and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, and ½ cup melted white chocolate until blended.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes generously and decorate with additional blueberries or chocolate chips, if desired.
Notes
For a twist, substitute blueberries with other fruits like raspberries or blackberries. To make gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
