The Wilton Mini Bundt Fluted Tube Cake Pan used can be found here or you can use a muffin pan. You won’t get the design at the top but it will still be pretty.

Ingredients

For Scones:

• 3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar, to taste
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 heavy or whipping cream
• coarse white sparkling sugar

For Filling:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup seedless blackberry jam

Steps

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F or 220 degrees Celsius
• Lightly grease bundt/muffin pan and sprinkle each cavity with coarse white sugar if desired.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
• Sprinkle the vanilla over the dry ingredients, then drizzle in the cream, tossing and stirring gently all the while and adding just enough to make a cohesive dough.
• There shouldn’t be any dry flour in the bottom of the bowl, but the dough shouldn’t be particularly sticky, either.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to 3/4″ thickness.
• Using a large cookie scoop like you would a cookie cutter, punch out circles of dough and place into prepared bundt pan. Press gently into each cup.
• For best rising, place the pan of scones into the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Bake the chilled scones for 14-15 minutes until they are starting to brown.
• Remove scones from oven and let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.

While the scones are cooling prepare the filling

• Into a chilled bowl with chilled beaters place heavy cream and powdered sugar and beat until you get stiff peaks.
• On slowest setting, beat in blackberry jam, until combined, then place the filling in a large piping bag fitted with a star tip.
• Slice cooled scones in half, pipe desired amount of filling on bottom half, replace top half, pipe a pretty swirl of filling on top and garnish with a blackberry.
