INGREDIENTS

For the Cupcakes:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup 60% cocoa chocolate chips
¾ cup + 4 tablespoons of flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup sweetened cocoa
¾ teaspoon sea salt

pinch of sea salt
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
12 ounces of California Giant blackberries (reserve 12 for garnishing)

DIRECTIONS

For the Cupcakes:
- - Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- - Line a cupcake tin with liners. Lightly spray the liners with non-stick spray.
- - In a microwavable bowl, melt the oil, butter and chocolate chips for about one minute, and then use a rubber spatula to stir until smooth. Set aside.
- - In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder and sea salt. Set aside.
- - In yet another bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolk, sugars and vanilla.
- - Add the butter mixture and whisk until smooth. Add the flour mixture and Greek yogurt, mix until just combined. Add coffee. Make sure to not over mix!
- - Fill the liners with the cupcake mixture.
- - Bake for 18-20 minutes, depending on your oven. Use a toothpick to make sure the center is cooked through. Cool completely.
For the Frosting:
- - Puree blackberries using a food processor blender. Then use a fine mesh strainer to strain puree into a small bowl, until only seeds remain in the strainer. Use a small spatula to push the puree through the strainer.
- - In a large bowl, use a hand mixer (or a stand mixer) to whisk together the butter, powdered sugar, and salt until combined. Once the mixture is combined (around 3-5 minutes), add cream cheese. Mix until fluffy and smooth.
- - Add blackberry puree and mix until incorporated. Transfer frosting to a gallon Ziploc bag and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- - When cupcakes are cooled, remove them from the baking pan. Decorate by cutting off the tip of your Ziploc bag (for easy frosting), then top with a blackberry for garnish!
