How to Make Jewel Cakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and raspberries.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, prepare your glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cakes and garnish with fresh berries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
