Huckleberry Lemonade Cupcakes

What you will need:
One box Betty Crocker (or favorite) French Vanilla cake mix, eggs, oil, and water called for on box, about 3/4 cup huckleberries (you could use blueberries as well), 7 oz. jar lemon curd, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla.

Cupcake
Add cake mix to medium mixing bowl, reserving a few tablespoons of dry mix. Pour dry mix over berries and mix well, doing this will ensure that you have berries through out the cupcake, instead of only on the bottom. Mix cake mix according to directions on back of box. When throughly mixed, add in coated berries, being sure not to mix too much. Bake according to package direction, being sure not to overbake and have dry cupcakes.



















Icing
2-3 cups powdered sugar
2 sticks butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 jar lemon curd

In stand mixer, whip room temperature butter until light and fluffy. Add in lemon curd and mix throughly. Add powdered sugar in parts, being certain to mix throughly between additions. Finally, mix in vanilla at end, and mix well. (this icing can be somewhat tart, like lemonade, therefore, you may wish to add more powdered sugar to sweeten it.)

Ice cupcakes, and top with a few berries as a garnish if desired. Enjoy! And dont forget to share :)
