  • In a stand mixer, beat the egg with the sugar on medium speed until fluffy and doubled in size; reduce the speed to low and pour in the melted butter in a steady stream until fully incorporated. Add 1/3 of the flour and baking powder, 1/3 of the milk, and alternate with the flour until finished; add the salt and vanilla. Beat for 1 more minute.
  • Divide the mixture into 2 equal parts. To one part, add cocoa and red food coloring, and to the second part, add blackberries and blue food coloring.
  • In a cupcake tray, place liners, fill them with the colors (some blue and others red) and bake for 20 minutes at 180°C. Let cool and set aside.
  • Cut the hat of the cupcake horizontally in half, fill the base with cream, and then place the top alternating the colors; if the base is red, the top should be blue and vice versa. Decorate with whipped cream and sugar pearls.
