Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, gelatin powder, and baking powder.

  4. Add the blackberries (including their juices), eggs, oil, and milk to the bowl.

  5. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients until well blended.

  6. Lightly dust the chocolate chunks with flour and then fold them into the batter.

  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean and the cakes spring back lightly when touched. Remember to rotate the pans once halfway through baking time.

  9. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.

  10. After 10 minutes, remove the cupcakes from the tins and let them cool completely for an additional 20 to 30 minutes.

  11. In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the blackberries, butter, vanilla extract, and salt until creamy.

  12. Gradually add powdered sugar to the mixture, beating after each addition, until the frosting has a nice stiff but spreadable texture.

  13. Frost the cooled cupcakes with the prepared frosting.
