Blackberry Peach Cupcakes

 I love summer for it's fresh fruit.  Therefore I made some fresh and fruit filled cupcakes just for you.

Blackberry Peach Cupcakes:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups cake flour                                                                                                                                                                                                      1 Tablespoon baking powder 
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, room temperature 
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1  cup of milk
5 quartered and peeled fresh peaches
1 cup of blackberries


Mix (sift) your dry ingredients.  In a separate bowl cream your butter and sugar.  Add in your eggs one at a time and then add your vanilla. Add your flour mixture into your butter mixture, slowly, one part at a time.  


Put your peaches and ONLY 5-7 blackberries into your food processor.  Let it pulse a few times until the mixture is chunky but not liquefied. You want some texture.  Then fold the fruit into your batter.  


Bake at 350 degrees for 20-21 minutes. 

 Blackberry Buttercream Icing:

1/2 cup of butter
5-6 cups of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Large handful of blackberries

Puree a large handful of blackberries in your food processor.  Set it to the side.

Cream your butter.  Add one cup of powdered sugar at a time.  Add your vanilla and your blackberry mixture.  Beat until smooth and fluffy. You only need a little bit of blackberry puree so don't put more than just a handful of blackberries into your mix.  Add more powdered sugar to reach your desired consistency.

I hope you love this.  I think this was probably one of my favorite recipes yet.  Enjoy!!
