So the weather is getting slightly warmer and I am absolutely loving it… even if it is just April and some places could even get more snow knowing our luck. However, I am craving all things fruit now because of it. <\/p>\n

I am obviously always in love with anything lemon… lemon and raspberry.. lemon white chocolate etc! However, lemon and blueberry is such a classic combination. I LOVE IT SO MUCH I JUST CAN’T COPE. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lemon and blueberry <\/h3>\n

Lemon brings a sweet and sour ness to the table, and blueberries are just utterly delicious. Sometimes, don’t get me wrong… they can suck. They can be tasteless. But I find when you bake with them, they are insane!<\/p>\n

I have a lemon raspberry cupcake<\/a> recipe already on my blog which I do love – but I decided to jazz it up a bit for this lemon & blueberry cupcakes recipe. I went all out, and even made homemade coulis for this beauty of a recipe! <\/p>\n

I have so many other delicious lemon & blueberry recipes on this blog already.. such as my lemon & blueberry rolls<\/a>, and my lemon & blueberry cheesecake<\/a> and even my lemon and blueberry cake<\/a>! But these cupcakes? amazing. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cupcake<\/h3>\n

I used a lemon cupcake recipe which is a standard sponge of equal parts butter, sugar, self raising flour and eggs. I tend to use medium eggs in my baking these days – if you use large however, you want to use 175g of the other ingredients. <\/p>\n

I add in lemon zest to flavour them, and then also the fresh blueberries! You can use frozen however for the cupcakes and coulis.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Buttercream<\/h3>\n

For the buttercream you want to use BLOCK BUTTER. As you are adding a reasonable amount of liquid from the coulis you do NOT want to use a baking spread of margarine for the buttercream as it won’t hold up!<\/p>\n

The coulis creates the delicious colour for the buttercream which I am in love with! I used my favourite 2d closed star piping tip to create a delicate swirl on top of each cupcake ready for some added blueberry and lemon decoration. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Coulis<\/h3>\n

For the coulis I do also use a bit of lemon juice instead of water and it goes so well! I add an extra drizzle of coulis to the top of the cupcake for decoration, as it looks so pretty!<\/p>\n

 There will be some leftover, but it lasts 5-7 days in the fridge once made. I do also blend and sieve my coulis for best results! <\/p>\n
