Zucchini-Lemon-Blackberry Mini-Bundts

June 17, 2016 by Housewife's Whimsy in Bundt Cakes, Recipes

IMG_20160526_111321520When I made these everyone was in awe of this flavor combination. I believe more than one person said they were “heavenly”, so you’re definitely going to want to try these out. I kind of made these by accident. I was going through my freezer trying to get rid of some of the things that had been there for several months and I came across blackberries and zucchini. I decided they would make the perfect combination along with a little lemon to zest it up.Instead of making cupcakes I wanted to make something a little more special. I love making Mini-Bundts and I thought this would be the perfect recipe for them. I actually have three mini-bundt pans from Nordic Ware that I really love. If you’re looking for one I highly suggest theirs. You will need to double this recipe if you want to make it in a regular sized Bundt pan.You have two options for the icing on these. I tried it both ways and I decided I prefer the way laid out below. You can also not thin the icing and it will be a regular cream cheese frosting. I found it was hard to spread evenly on the mini-bundts though, and it detracted from their shape since it pretty much just hid their cute tops. When you heat the frosting, it thins and turns into a glaze. You maintain the beauty of the mini-bundts without sacrificing any of the flavor.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:214]Source: Adapted from Betcha Can’t Eat Just One

Blackberry Lemon Cupcakes

June 10, 2015 by Housewife's Whimsy in Cupcakes, Filled Cupcakes, Recipes

100_2921 - CopyI found fresh blackberries on a super sale at the grocery store the other week. I just knew I needed to do something special with them. I really wanted to showcase their natural flavor so I paired them with lemon. This caused the blackberry to pop by providing a subtle tart undertone. This may not be the first flavor pairing you would think of, but it is definitely a must try.100_2889 - Copy The cupcakes and icing are chock full of real blackberries. By using fresh berries in the cupcake it gives the berries a chance to shine. I had lemon curd left in my fridge so I used that as a filling. If you don’t have lemon curd on hand you can always leave it out. You could also substitute a lemon marmalade or blackberry jam if you would still like a filling.100_2925 - CopyThe icing is the perfect pairing of tart lemon and juicy blackberries. It is the perfect touch to finish them off. I actually had a hard time not eating it by the spoonful. These cupcakes are a must make. If you can pick the blackberries yourself that’s an added bonus! You will love these light flavors in a springy cake. It is the perfect cake for a summer party on a hot evening.
