This will be my second time making these and I’m glad I found your recipe again. The first time, I gave one to my regular UPS delivery person and he didn’t know I was watching him leave from the window – he took a bite and he had a muffled shout and literally did that thing where you kick both your feet up to click your heels on his way back to the truck. It seriously made my day. I hope this batch turns out as well!

Just by the sound of it, I HAD to try this one. The cupcakes turned out delicious. Thank you so much. 🙂

Found these cupcakes on Pinterest and made them for a work event. They were so easy and absolutely beautiful. The tastes were complex and coherent. Will be making these annually, during peak Blackberry season.

Have you tasted them? The berries do tend to puddle a bit but I didn’t find it negatively affect the cupcake itself. Sort of like those self-saucing cakes. As long as the cake sprung back when gently pushed the cupcake should be done. I do think that frozen berries tend to puddle more so perhaps that is the case here.

Hi! I just made these and I’m a little concerned because the blackberry went to the bottom and made it kinda loose at the bottom of the muffin liners :/

Is there anything that i could/should have done to prevent this?

Those look fantastic and what a divine combination! Great that frozen blackberries can be used to make these too.

Seriously! I’m already looking forward to blackberry season to enjoy these again – although I wonder if cranberries would work too?

I didn’t think it was possible to fit this much deliciousness into one recipe.

They do add moisture but also add a really lovely flavor. Blackberry and chocolate is a great pair!

Cat, so sorry to hear this. Definitely breaking up the berries is a must. If there are clumps of berries they will – as you describe – sink. You could also thaw the berries, drain them a bit and then stir them into the batter.

So… I used the frozen raspberries and I think they’re not really a solution after all. They were all big and solid when I put the cakes in the oven, then thawed and collapsed thereby causing the cupcakes to collapse. It turned into a saggy, soggy mess. I ended up offering people spoons to scoop the cake out of the paper. Maybe breaking the berries up a bit would help? Also if you’re using frozen I would suggest using a little less. Otherwise a yummy recipe!

Fascinating, I would never thought to use blackberry in chocolate cake. I imagine they act like beets with moisturizing, adding density. Appreciate the share.. Dee xx.

I always look forward to your comments for their ability to whisk me away to the magical place where you live. Someday I’d like a visit. It sounds heavenly. In the meantime I’ll continue to fall deep in to your words. Thanks for commenting and giving me the brief vacation through words.
