Triple Berry Cupcake

Need a quick cupcake that is summer fresh and has only one ingredient to add to the mix? Why not whip up these Triple Berry Cupcakes that are perfect for a backyard BBQ and elegant enough to serve at a wedding. I know this because I've done both! For this recipe all you'll need is...

• White Cake Mix (plus ingredients to make the cake...usually eggs, oil, and water)
• Store bought Vanilla Icing
• 1 cup of Triple Berry Curd (some for the batter and some for the top of your cupcake - the store bought stuff is perfect...even the stuff in the jar)
• Butter (room temperate...around 1/2 cup....but it's up to you)
• Icing Sugar (optional)

It's mixing time...

Step 1: Follow the directions of your White Cake Mix - from preheating your oven through to adding the eggs, oil, water, etc. Now it's time to add one more ingredient.  Add 1/2 cup of Triple Berry Curd and mix the batter until smooth. 

Step 2: Spoon the batter into your cupcake liners and bake as directed on the package.  Once they are done baking, let them cool completely.

Step 3: While you're waiting for your cupcakes to cool, why not make the icing!  Using your mixer, mix the vanilla icing and butter on high until smooth. Give your icing a taste and if it's too buttery for your liking, add in some icing sugar.

Step 4: Now that your cupcakes are completely cooled, it's time to assemble your Triple Berry Cupcakes.  Take your cooled cupcakes and spread some Triple Berry Curd over the top.  Next, fill your piping bag with your Vanilla Icing and pipe it onto the top.  I like to make sure that you can still see the Triple Berry Curd poking out from under the icing. And they're ready to eat!    

Happy Faking!
