Directions
Blackberry Reduction:
In a small saucepan place blackberries, sugar, water, Framboise and lemon zest. Heat on medium until mixture simmers. Turn to lowest heat and simmer gently until berries are mushy and mixture thickens, about 5-8 minutes, stirring often. Strain into a container and press on the solids. Set the reduction aside for swirling in lemon cupcake batter and buttercream.
Lemon Blackberry Cupcake:
Preheat oven to 350. Place liners in a cupcake pan(s). Makes about 14.
Place flour in a medium-sized bowl. Mix sugar and lemon zest together using finger tips to infuse flavor. Add to flour. Add baking powder, salt, baking soda and whisk to combine. In a microwave safe glass container melt butter and cool slightly. Add vanilla, lemon extract, eggs, lemon juice and buttermilk. Add to dry mixture and mix until batter is smooth and shiny.
Take â…“ of the batter and place in a small bowl. Add 1-3 tablespoons of blackberry reduction and stir until thoroughly mixed (it should look pale purple). Add back to larger bowl and marble just slightly. It will continue to marble when you scoop ”“ so don”™t overdo the marbling. Scoop into prepared liners about â…” full. Bake 18-22 minutes or just until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for a few minutes. Remove to rack and cool cupcakes completely before frosting.
Blackberry Swiss Buttercream:
In a stand mixer bowl place 3 extra-large egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Place bowl over a pan with simmering water and stir until temperature reads 160 degrees. Place bowl on stand mixer and with whip attachment beat until whites have high glossy peaks and bottom of bowl can be touched by your hand and it isn”™t hot. Switch to paddle attachment and while on medium speed add pieces of butter until it is all incorporated. Turn to high and mix until buttercream comes together. It will go through a stage where it looks curdled and like it is a wreck. Just keep going. You will hear it thump before you notice that it is changed to a decent looking buttercream. Add the vanilla and 2-4 tablespoons of blackberry reduction and beat on high until well mixed. The buttercream should be a nice shade of pale blackberry lavender. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes and top with a fresh blackberry. Refrigerate until about 30 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator but serve at room temperature for best flavor.
