These cupcakes were amazing!!! I used blueberry jam in place of the blackberry and halfed the frosting as others stated. Will definitely be making these again.

The batter was extremely think and yielded no where near 24 cupcakes. The cupcakes weighed a ton and were the wrong consistency, after they were baked the cupcake actually cracked. I Think there needs to be more eggs, flour, and I would have used baking soda instead of powder. This also gives you way too much icing, I would reduce that by half.

I just made these and am disappointed. The batter was extremely dense. I was hesitant to add more milk and now I regret it. The flavor is good, but I have a feeling they are going to get dry very quickly (all of the tops are cracked and look more like muffins). The frosting is delicious, but not a good piping consistency.

WOW!!! My first go at homemade cupcakes... They're SOOO moist, awesome recipe! The lemon flavor wasn't as strong as I'd probably prefer. I juiced a large lemon and used the zest, but they're still awesome! PS. This recipe makes 16 regular size cupcakes..

I loved the combo of lemon and blackberry. Great moist lemony cake. This recipe only yielded 16 regular sized cupcakes for me as well. I made a cream cheese frosting with fresh blackberries instead of making the buttercream with jam. Since blackberries are in season now, it is delicious and very berry. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

The recipe only made 12 standard cupcakes, but the taste is delicious. Light and slightly lemony, great for spring or summer. I used raspberry jam instead of blackberry, and subbed shortening for half of the butter in the frosting, just so it would hold up better in the heat. I'll be making these again.

Review only for the cupcake: I've made these a few times, and I love the flavor (I don't understand how some people end up with a subtle lemon flavor if you use the juice and zest of a whole lemon). Small issues with the recipe: I always get 21 cupcakes (I use regular size muffin pans) and the cupcakes always separate from the paper liners (any suggestions for what I may be doing wrong?!) I have a slight obsession with cream cheese frosting so I always use that on these cupcakes and its absolutely delicious!

This is an amazing recipe! So light and full of bright flavor. Followed the recipe as is. Something different than just chocolate cupcakes. It was a huge hit for my dinner party. Will definitely make again.

This cupcake recipe is great! the texture is really really good. I added extra lemon juice and zest cause i did find the lemon flavor at first to be too sutil. I also replaced the buttercream with blackberry meringue...thought it was a healthier choice.
