Ingredients

3 1/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising), sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 vanilla beans, split and scraped, pods reserved for another use, or 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
8 large egg whites, room temperature
1 1/2 pints (3 cups) blueberries
34 raspberries (1/2 pint; about 1 1/3 cups)
Seven-Minute Frosting for Berry Cupcakes

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with racks in middle and lower positions. Line 3 muffin tins with 34 liners. Whisk together 3 cups flour, the baking powder, and salt.
Beat butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and the vanilla until pale and fluffy. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk.
Beat whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold one-third of the whites into batter, then carefully fold in remaining whites. Gently toss blueberries with remaining 1/4 cup flour to coat. Gently fold floured blueberries into batter. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners.
Bake until cupcakes spring back when touched, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool in tins on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove cupcakes from tins, and let cool completely on wire racks. Frost cupcakes and garnish each with a raspberry.

These cupcakes are a great way to use up leftover berries. I always have a few berries that are about to go bad, so I make these cupcakes to use them up.

These cupcakes were a bit too dense for my taste, but the frosting was delicious. I think I'll try using a different recipe for the cake next time.

I'm not a big fan of cupcakes, but these were actually really good. The berries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the cake.

The cupcakes were a little dry, but the frosting was delicious. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil to the batter next time.

The cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
