Ingredients: For the white cake batter:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons blueberry pie filling
For the cheesecake filling:
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) cheesecake-flavored instant pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
For the blueberry buttercream frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup blueberry pie filling
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- Fresh blueberries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and blueberry pie filling.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cheesecake-flavored instant pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Transfer the pudding mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, use a small knife or cupcake corer to gently remove the center of each cupcake, creating a cavity for the filling. Pipe the cheesecake filling into each cavity.
- To make the blueberry buttercream frosting, beat the softened butter in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until smooth and creamy. Mix in the blueberry pie filling until well combined. If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer the blueberry buttercream frosting to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe swirls of frosting onto each cupcake.
- Garnish with fresh blueberries, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
