Chocolate Mora Heaven Cupcakes

1. Bake the Cupcakes:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Add buttermilk, then slowly mix in dry ingredients. Stir in hot water/coffee.
4. Divide the batter among liners, filling 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.

2. Make the Mora Filling:

1. In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened (5-7 minutes).
2. Mash the berries slightly, then strain through a fine sieve if you want a smooth filling. Let cool.

3. Prepare the Frosting:

1. Beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
2. Mix in 2 tablespoons of the blackberry puree and cream. Beat until smooth. Add more cream if needed for a pipeable consistency.

4. Assemble the Cupcakes:

1. Use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove the center of each cupcake. Fill with the cooled mora filling.
2. Pipe the chocolate-blackberry frosting on top in beautiful swirls.

5. Decorate:

• Garnish with fresh blackberries, a drizzle of blackberry puree, or even a sprinkle of edible glitter for extra wow factor!
