Step-by-Step Instructions
- Steep 2 Earl Grey tea bags in 1 cup of hot milk for about 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and whisk in 3 tbsp Greek yogurt and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently roast 1.25 cups of blackberries in a skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until soft and fragrant. Mash lightly and cool.
- Cream together 0.5 cup unsalted butter and 0.75 cup sugar until fluffy. Add 1 whole egg and 1 egg white, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.25 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 0.25 tsp baking powder, and 0.25 tsp sea salt. Fold into wet mixture along with remaining tea leaves.
- Swirl 0.25 cup cooled blackberries into the batter, then fill cupcake liners two-thirds full.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 19–21 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Strain leftover blackberries to collect 1 tbsp blackberry juice. Beat 4 oz cream cheese and 0.5 cup softened butter together, gradually adding 3 cups sugar and blackberry juice until fluffy.
- Frost cooled cupcakes with the blackberry cream cheese frosting and drizzle remaining blackberry juice over them.
