What better way to celebrate summertime with in-season fruit. There is nothing more imperative in a baker’s recipe collection than a basic, delicious vanilla cupcake recipe. In fact, I say exactly the same when it comes to cake baking. I have my favorite “base” that can be adjusted to any kind of flavoring.

Though by using frozen blueberries you could make them year-round! Trust me, after one taste – you’ll want to make them every chance you get. I find it easier to use fresh blueberries for texture purposes, but the taste will be exactly the same.
