Blueberry Cupcakes

In the late 80's, Blueberry Cake was a popular choice whenever the Swallow wanted to buy birthday cakes for her friends and loved ones.  When there was an offer for blueberries at a nearby supermarket, the Swallow could not resist buying a box of the blueberries.  The Swallow does not have the ability to produce a Blueberry Cake like the ones sold in cake shops, but she managed to improvise a little to produce some Blueberry cupcakes.

This recipe is good for those who those who likes to use ready mix flour.
