makes 30 cupcakes

2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons key lime juice
zest of two limes
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla, key lime juice and lime zest; mix well. Add the flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream (batter will be thick). Fill muffin cups with 1/4 cup of batter.

Blackberry Filling
Seedless blackberry Jam (I used Smuckers)
Fill an icing bag with the jam, insert the tip into the cupcake about an inch and squirt a little jam inside each cupcake. Do not squeeze too much into the cupcakes or they will kind of explode. You do not need a lot.
Blackberry Buttercream
2 sticks butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup seedless blackberry Jam
pinch of salt
6 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
Beat butter and vanilla until creamy. Mix in blackberry filling and salt. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, beating until combined. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach desired consistency.
