BLUEBERRY LEMON CUPCAKES
This is a great, versatile recipe. Try subbing the lemon for lime and the blueberries for strawberries... or orange and raspberry... or any other combination you can think of! I like to frost with a simple vanilla buttercream, but a fruit-flavored icing (with lemon extract instead of vanilla, for example) would probably be great, too!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Blend the butter substitute, sugar, and applesauce together until creamy.
- Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add dry mixture to the butter mixture, a little at a time, alternating with the soy milk.
- Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Add blueberries and hand stir until evenly distributed through the batter.
- Fill lined or greased cupcake tins 3/4 full. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips:
- For a more intense lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough cupcakes.
- For a moist and fluffy cupcake, fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them.
- For a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cupcakes.
- Top the cupcakes with fresh blueberries for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
These blueberry lemon cupcakes are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their moist and fluffy texture, tangy lemon flavor, and sweet blueberry topping, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
