- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon almond milk
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1-½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup seedless blackberry jam
- Blackberry Buttercream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons crisco shortening
- ½ cup seedless blackberry jam
- 3-4 cups powdered sugar
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Add the vinegar, almond milk, and sour cream in a glass measuring cup. Set aside. This is your "buttermilk" mixture.
- Mix dry ingredients (baking soda through flour) together in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Add the flour mixture alternately with the "buttermilk" mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in ½ cup blackberry jam.
- Scoop about ⅓ cup of batter into 12 paper lined cupcake cups. Distribute evenly any remaining batter (there won't be much if any).
- Bake for 20-23 minutes, until cake tester inserted into center of cupcake comes out clean. Cool completely.
- To make frosting cream together butter and shortening. Add 3 cups of powdered sugar and blend well. Blend in seedless blackberry jam. Blend in vanilla extract and more powdered sugar if needed. Frost cooled cupcakes with buttercream.

Do you put blackberry jam in the cake batter too? I don't see it in the instructions.
