Equipment

measuring cups
measuring spoons
electric mixer
large bowl
cupcake tin

Ingredients

1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
¾ cups of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon of salt
1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of white or apple cider vinegar
¼ cup + 1 tablespoon of canola or vegetable oil
1 cup of water
6 blackberries, mashed into a paste
1 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Line a cupcake tin with silicone or paper baking cups.
In the bowl of an electric mixer (or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer), mix together all the ingredients until smooth.
Pour the batter into each baking cup until it’s three-quarters full.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Test a cupcake by sticking a toothpick in the middle. If the toothpick comes out dry, the cupcakes are done.

Notes

Save the leftover orange zest/juice: Zest the orange before juicing it and store any extras in an ice-cube tray. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a Ziplock/Stasher bag for 6 months.

For swirled batter: By using mashed blackberries, the batter turns fairly purple. If you want more obvious swirls of color, mix the batter and then fold in the blackberries just 1-2 times before transferring to the muffin tray.

Adjust the sugar amount: You can reduce the sugar or experiment with a granulated sweetener (like erythritol) for sugar-free blackberry cupcakes. However, I haven't tried the latter, so the batter may need additional tweaks (usually a small amount of additional moisture).
