Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ lemon cake mix
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
2 eggs
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup fresh blueberries
Lemon peel, if desired
Fresh mint leaves, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
  • In small bowl, gently toss 2 tablespoons of the dry cake mix with 1 1/2 cups blueberries to coat; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat remaining dry cake mix, water, oil, 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel, eggs and cream cheese with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Fold blueberry mixture into batter. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
  • Bake 17 to 23 minutes or until tops are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • In medium bowl, beat powdered sugar, butter, 1 teaspoon lemon peel, the salt, vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk on high speed about 4 minutes or until smooth and well blended, adding more milk by teaspoonfuls if needed. Frost cupcakes with frosting. Garnish with 1 cup blueberries, the lemon peel and mint leaves. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
