BLUEBERRY CUPCAKES
These blueberry cupcakes are breakfast for dessert. Fresh blueberries are mixed into vanilla cake -- rather than muffin -- batter, which is then topped with cinnamon streusel and swirls of blueberry-cream cheese icing. This recipe appeared in episode 308 of Martha Bakes.

Steps:
- Make the topping: Mix together granulated and brown sugars and cinnamon.
- Make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in upper third of oven. Line cups of a standard muffin tin with baking cups. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then beat in vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low, and beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with sour cream and beginning and ending with flour. Fold in blueberries.
- Divide batter among baking cups. Add topping, pressing to adhere to batter. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 20 to 21 minutes. Remove cupcakes from tin, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the icing: Beat together butter and cream cheese with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and gradually beat in vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Raise speed to medium-high, and beat 1 minute. Spoon jam on top of icing, and without stirring, spoon icing into a disposable pastry bag. Snip off a 3/4-inch opening in tip, and pipe swirled mounds of icing on top of each cupcake. Although best if eaten immediately, cupcakes can be refrigerated up to 6 hours and brought to room temperature 45 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Make the frosting ahead of time: The frosting can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Be creative with your toppings: You can top the cupcakes with anything you like, such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, or fresh berries.
Conclusion:
These chocolate cupcakes with spinach and blueberries are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a special snack. With their moist and fluffy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and vibrant green color, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
