Instructions

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth; let cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together canola oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
In another bowl, mix flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Add the melted chocolate to the batter and mix gently until just combined.
Pour batter into cupcake liners and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
For the frosting, beat softened butter and powdered sugar until fluffy; add mashed blackberries and lime zest, mixing until smooth.
Once cupcakes are cooled, frost them generously with blackberry buttercream.
