Servings: persons

1 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
1-1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
2 whole Eggs
3 whole Egg Yolks
1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
2-1/2 cups Gluten-free All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
3/4 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1-1/2 cup Fresh Blueberries
FOR THE FROSTING:
8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
4 ounces, weight Unsalted Butter, Softened
4 cups Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line and grease two 12-cup muffin pans.
2
In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, mixing thoroughly. Add zest, lemon juice, and vanilla; mix. Using a spatula, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Turn the mixer on for another 30 seconds.
3
Combine flour, baking powder and soda, and salt in a bowl. Mixing on low, alternate adding large scoops of the flour mixture and the yogurt, beginning and ending with the flour. Once you have added the last of your flour, remove the bowl from the mixer and mix gently by hand until combined (may look slightly bumpy but that's ok). Fold in blueberries.
4
Spoon batter into muffin cups until 2/3 full. Gently tap the pan to remove air bubbles. Bake at 350u00b0F for about 17 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
5
For the lemon cream cheese frosting:
6
Cream cream cheese and butter together until fluffy. Turn mixer to low and beat in powdered sugar, lemon zest and juice. Once combined, beat on high for 5 minutes.
7
Pipe or spread frosting onto the cupcakes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
