How to Make Blackberry Jam Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  4. With mixer on high speed, gradually beat in 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Reduce mixer speed to medium. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Reduce mixer speed to low.
  6. Alternately beat in the dry ingredients and 1 cup buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup blackberry jam until almost, but not completely, incorporated. A few streaks of jam are desirable.
  8. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Frost and decorate as desired (burnt sugar icing, caramel, buttercream, and a fresh raspberry are suggested!).
