Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes With Raspberry Buttercream Frosting – The Cupcake Project

I’m finally starting back on The Cupcake Project! The holidays were craaaaazy to say the least! But, I found some time last week to whip up these super yummy Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes just in time for Valentine’s Day!! I know!! You can thank me later. There’s raspberries in both the cupcakes and, AND!!! I made some raspberry buttercream frosting. Because, obviously. Ethan loved them so much, we’re making a batch for him to bring to the valentine’s Day party at school. Seriously, what’s more perfect then chocolate raspberry cupcakes for a classroom full of 7 year olds? Not much! Ok, I confess. I loved them too.

Directions:

Let’s get started with our Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes by preheating the oven to 350*. Line pans with some really cute cupcake liners. 1 of my favorites are these. (This recipe will make 24 homemade cupcakes)

In large mixing bowl, mix eggs oil, buttermilk, sour cream and vanilla on low speed.  Slowly add cake mix and blend until it’s smooth and lump free. Remember, lumps are yucky! Very carefully, fold in chopped raspberries.

I always tell you to use a Use a measuring scoop to pour batter into cupcake liners. Less mess, no guess! (here’s the ones I use. 4 sizes and SUPER cheap!)  Fill your liners 3/4 full. Depending on your oven, bake for 15-20 minutes. I was right at 18 minutes. Use the old but never fail ‘toothpick comes out clean’ trick to test yours. Set those aside on cooling rack. And, while they are cooling off, we’re going to start on the Raspberry Buttercream!!

First make your raspberries into a puree and strain out the seeds. Those would be bad to chomp down on in frosting!  Beat your  butter in a stand mixer for a good 2 minutes so it gets soft, fluffy. Add your raspberry puree and mix again for about 30 seconds. Slowly start adding powdered sugar until you reach the consistency you’re aiming for to pipe frosting. Too thick? Add 1 TBS of milk at a time. Too runny? Thicken with 2 TBS powdered sugar. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes and top with fresh raspberries super cute sprinkles!

BAM! Perfect Valentine’s Day Treats!
