Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes

This is definitely a good choice for a summer cupcake. I had some fresh blueberries left over and I have been wanting to try my lemon cupcake recipe with the blueberries and they added just the zing I was looking for and turned out really yummy. I eat blueberries every day either in a smoothie or on oatmeal or just in a fruit mixture. Love them. I could see only one frosting on these cupcakes and that's lemon cream cheese frosting. Yum, this frosting really makes the cupcake.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
