Chocolate and Blueberry Cupcake Sandwiches

These chocolate and blueberry cupcake sandwiches topped with cream cheese frosting, have blueberries inside and out.

This cupcake sandwich starts out as a homemade chocolate cupcake that’s made with fresh blueberries.

After it’s baked the chocolate cupcake is cut in half from side to side, then in between the 2 halves, it’s filled with homemade blueberry compote filling and cream cheese frosting.

The blueberry compote filling is easy to make and tastes so good with the chocolate cupcake and cream cheese frosting.

Optional to Make Mini Cupcakes with Some of the Batter

In addition to using the batter to make cupcake sandwiches, some of the batter can also be used to make mini cupcakes.

The mini cupcakes can be filled with blueberry compote (after they’re baked) and topped with cream cheese frosting.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Do you see the curious little critter in this picture?

She’s my little helper in the kitchen.

She’s letting me know that something is missing in the picture of the cupcake ingredients.

And she was right…I forgot to add the fresh blueberries. Here’s the picture with the blueberries in it.

Chocolate Cupcakes – flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, butter, milk, vanilla extract, eggs and blueberries

…and powdered sugar.

Beat until smooth (about 3 or 4 minutes).

Set aside for a moment.

For the Cupcake Sandwiches:

Remove the paper liners from the cupcakes.

Then…

…cut the cupcakes in half from side to side.

Spread frosting on the top of each half.

Add 1/2 teaspoon blueberry filling on top of the frosting on each halved cupcake.

Turn the top half upside down and…

…set it on top of the bottom half to make a sandwich.

Top the cupcake sandwich with cream cheese frosting.

More Serving Options – With some of the cupcake batter, mini cupcakes can be made.

After they’re baked and cooled, before frosting them,
