These Blueberry Filled Cupcakes come together in no time with a little help from store-bought blueberry pie filling.

Blueberry Filled Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

I love making fun desserts that seem impressive… especially when they’re actually pretty simple. There’s something about filled cupcakes that seem so fancy, right? But these are a cinch to make using store-bought blueberry pie filling. I’m not above semi-homemade hacks! The result is a tasty cupcake that the whole family will love!

Ingredients

Cupcake Ingredients

  • 1/2 C butter room temp
  • 2 egg whites room temp
  • 2 eggs room temp
  • 2 C all- purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 C buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 C sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 C soft unsalted butter
  • 4 + C powder sugar
  • 4 TBSP heavy whipping cream

Filling

  • 1 can of Blueberry pie filling

Instructions

Cupcake Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcakes tins with paper liners.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder,salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  • In another bowl, beat butter on medium-high for 30 seconds.
  • Add sugar and vanilla to the butter, beat until combined.
  • Add egg whites and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one is added.
  • Alternate the flour and buttermilk mixture, beating on low speed until everything is mixed together.
  • Scoop the batter into the lined cupcake tins until they are 2/3 rds filled.
  • Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from cupcake tray and place on wire racks allowing to cool completely.
  • Using a small spoon or a cupcake scoop make a small hole in the center of each cupcake. Don't make the hole completely through the cupcake bottom
  • Fill the hole in the cupcake to the top of the baked and cooled cupcake with the blueberry filling.

Frosting Directions

  • Cream the butter and powder sugar until it looks light and creamy.
  • If it doesn't cream add several drops of the heavy whipping cream until it creams.
  • Test to see if the frosting can form and hold a stiff peak by taking a spoonful of frosting and turning the spoon upside down. If the frosting stays on the spoon it is ready if not then....
  • Add more powder sugar 1/2 C at a time.... mix well.
  • Test to make sure that the frosting can make and hold a stiff peak.
  • If ready scoop the frosting into a pastry bag with a large tip.
  • Twist the open end of the pastry bag to push the frosting to the #15 tip.
  • Start by frosting on the outside edge of the cupcake working to the center of the cupcake.

How simple is that? They’re so impressive looking (and tasting) – yet really so simple to make!

    I love that you baked the cupcakes from scratch and didn’t use a cake mix. They taste so much better homemade rather than the quick way, at least I think so! Thanks for linking up with Delicious Dishes Link Party!
