  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk or dairy-free alternative
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blackberries
  • ½ cup (90g) dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the blackberries and chocolate chips carefully to evenly distribute.
  6. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate as desired.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Coat blackberries lightly in flour before folding to prevent sinking.
  • Decorate with additional fresh blackberries or a drizzle of chocolate ganache for an elegant touch.
