In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in vanilla extract, lime zest, and milk until well combined.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blackberries.
Spoon batter into cupcake liners, filling about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
For the filling, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lime juice until smooth.

Top with extra blackberries, lime zest, and a slice of lime for garnish.
