Raspberry Lemon Cupcakes | Tangy & Sweet Recipe Delight

Description

Hello, lovely bakers! ???? Ready to indulge in a sweet treat that’s bursting with the fresh, tangy flavors of raspberry and lemon? These Raspberry Lemon Heaven Cupcakes are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re celebrating with friends or simply treating yourself to a little slice of heaven. Let’s dive into this delightful recipe that will surely become one of your favorites!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup raspberry preserves
  • 1 cup lemon curd
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set this mixture aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract for that rich flavor.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, and mix until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely.
  • Once cooled, use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove the center of each cupcake.
  • Fill half of the hollowed cupcakes with raspberry preserves and the other half with lemon curd for a delicious surprise in each bite.
  • Top each cupcake with your favorite buttercream frosting and garnish with fresh raspberries for an elegant finish.

Equipment

Notes

  • Tip 1: When removing the center of the cupcakes, don’t discard the removed cake pieces! You can crumble them and use as a decorative topping on your frosting.
  • Tip 2: Ensure your butter is at room temperature before mixing; this will help create a smooth and fluffy batter.
  • Tip 3: For an extra lemony kick, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
