Just made these over the wkend and they were gone in no time. They were so light and moist, who's to know it was a box mix, will definetly make again and again, and the butter frosting was a notch above the norm, cause of the coarse salt, never thought to use it, a keeper for sure.

Awesome video showing techniques! It might sound like I'm a simpleton but I cook a LOT and have actually crushed way too many blueberries trying to wash them by rubbing and lost a bunch down the sink. Why didn't I think of this? Also my batter always turned a weird blue color but not anymore!

I have already made these cupcakes twice and both times had trouble keeping people out of the icing long enough to get it on the cupcakes! Everyone has raved about these cupcakes & I have given out the recipe several times already. I didnt use lemon zest however didnt want to waste the lemon just for a zest so I replaced lemon zest with 1 tsp of lemon extract & it was still ohh soo tasty! Enjoy!

Good cupcake. The only change I made was using creme cheese instead of butter in the frosting and that only because I did not take the butter out in time. The cupcakes are actually good without the frosting...like a muffin but not as dense. I am not sure I am completely sold on lemon with blueberries, however I know that many recipes pair the two together.
