Ingredients

For the cupcakes:

  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened
  • 1 ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup corn starch
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cup Prosecco

For the Blackberry Compote:

  • 1 cup blackberry pie filling (found in a can on the baking aisle)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup confectioners sugar

For the frosting :

  • ½ cup butter (1 stick)
  • 5 cups confectioners sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 tablespoon Prosecco

Instructions

For the cupcakes:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 cupcake slot tins with cupcake liners. 
  • In a large mixer (or using a hand held mixer), cream butter and sugar together. Once light and fluffy, add in vanilla.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  • In a smaller mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt, using a whisk. 
  • Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the batter, and mix well.
  • add ½ of the prosecco to that mixture, and incorporate well. Add in another ⅓ of the flour mixture. Then add the other half of Prosecco. Finally, add in the last part of the flour mixture. When alternating dry ingredients with wet ingredients for a cake, you should always end with the dry ingredients. 
  • Using a large scoop, evenly divide the batter among the cupcake tins.
  • Bake in the pre-heated oven for around 18 minutes. Since oven times vary, be sure to keep an eye on them. They will become slightly tan on top, and a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool on a wire rack before inserting the compote or frosting.

For the Blackberry Compote:

  • With a mixer, combine the blackberry pie filling with the lemon, and cream cheese.
  • Once fully mixed, add in the confectioners sugar. Mix well, and scoop or pipe into cupcakes that have had a portion of their centers removed. 

For the frosting:

  • In a large mixer (or with a hand held mixer), cream the butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add in 2 cups of the confectioners sugar. Once mixed, add in the vanilla and half (2 TBSP) of the Prosecco. Continue to mix.
  • Next, add in 2 more cups of the confectioners sugar. Once mixed add in the the rest of the Prosecco. 
  • Finally, add in the last cup of sugar, ¼ of a cup at a time. Do this until you get the consistancy you desire. Since I wanted to pipe mine, I needed a whole cup.
  • Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. If you are using an oversized piping tip (like the Russian tips I used), you will need to double the icing recipe since they require so much.
