- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt until fully combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Tip: Ensure the butter is at room temperature to avoid a gritty texture.
- Beat in the farm-fresh eggs one at a time, followed by the pure vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the creamy whole milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- In a small saucepan, combine the plump fresh blueberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice, cooking over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the berries burst and release their juices, then mash slightly and let cool.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Dollop a teaspoon of the blueberry mixture onto each cupcake and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter for a marbled effect. Tip: Avoid over-swirling to maintain distinct blue and vanilla layers.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Tip: Cooling completely prevents the frosting from melting when applied.
