Decadent Dark Chocolate Blackberry Cupcakes are rich, moist, and bursting with juicy blackberries. Made with sour cream for tenderness and studded with dark chocolate chips, these cupcakes strike the perfect balance between indulgent and refreshing—ideal for celebrations or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting or light frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, sour cream, and oil until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in blackberries and dark chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar or top with your preferred frosting.

Notes

  • Top with cream cheese frosting or chocolate ganache for extra indulgence.
  • Add blackberry jam to frosting for stronger berry flavor.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Swap blackberries for raspberries or blueberries if desired.
  • Freeze individually wrapped cupcakes for up to 2 months.
