Instructions

Step1: Prepare the Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix in dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, until just combined.

Step2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy.

Step3: Fill the Cupcake Liners

  1. Fill each cupcake liner halfway with the cupcake batter.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling on top of the batter.

Step4: Make the Blackberry Compote

  1. In a saucepan, heat blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
  2. Simmer for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
  3. Let it cool completely.

Step5: Swirl in the Blackberry Compote

  1. Add a teaspoon of blackberry compote over the cheesecake filling.
  2. Lightly swirl it using a toothpick for a marbled effect.

Step6: Bake the Cupcakes

  1. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcake (not the cheesecake center) comes out clean.
  2. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

Step7: Prepare the Blackberry Lime Frosting

  1. In a bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue beating until fluffy.
  3. Mix in ¼ cup blackberry compote and lime zest for extra flavor.

Step8: Decorate and Serve

  1. Pipe the frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
  2. Garnish with fresh blackberries, lime slices, and extra lime zest.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients – This helps create a smooth batter and filling.
  • Don’t overmix – Overmixing can make the cupcakes dense instead of fluffy.
  • Chill before serving – The flavors develop better after chilling for 1-2 hours.
  • Use fresh lime juice – Fresh lime juice enhances the zesty flavor more than bottled lime juice.
