Blueberry Angel Cupcakes Recipe
  • Prep: 10 min. + standing Bake: 15 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 30 Servings
10 15 25

Ingredients

  • 11 egg whites
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

  • Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift together flour and 1/2 cup sugar three times; set aside.
  • Add cream of tartar, vanilla and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time. Fold in blueberries and lemon peel.
  • Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 375° for 14-17 minutes or until cupcakes spring back when lightly touched. Immediately remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Brush over cupcakes. Let stand until set. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

I am definitely going to be making these alot. They are delicious and I wonder how fresh raspberries would taste in the place of the blueberries as I love raspberries as much as blueberries and the glaze was a nice touch.

Yum! These were delicious. I left off the glaze because they were already sweet enough and made them in the mini muffin pan.
