Oh boy this frosting is so delicious!! It is especially yummy on lemon cupcakes!!

1 cup butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup blackberry puree

In a blender or food processor, puree blackberries. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Discard pulp and seeds. Set 1/2 cup of strained blackberries aside.

In a separate bowl, cream 1 cup butter for 3 minutes. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Mix for 2 minutes before adding the next cup. Continue until all 4 cups are added.

Add vanilla and blackberries. Mix until blended.

Chill for an hour before spreading on cake.

It is delicious on Lemon cupcakes.

Ooooh Yum. I make something very similar to this except I use Strawberry Puree and frost them on Strawberry Cupcakes. I definitely need to try this one on lemon. TFS
