Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes



I know Pam already posted a recipe for chocolate cupcakes, but I made these for a church function and many have asked for the recipe. This was a super easy recipe and the taste of raspberry really made the cupcake! I always say you can never have to many great cupcake recipes! Also, don't be impressed by my picture, the one I took got deleted so I used the one from the cupcake website. Instead of a raspberry on top, I sprinkled the cupcakes with mini chocolate chips, they were really cute!


Chocolate Raspberry Cupcake:
adapted from Your Cup of Cake
21 oz can raspberry pie filling
¼ cup sour cream
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Devil’s Food Cake Mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda

(high altitude, add 1/4 cup flour)

Raspberry Buttercream:

8 oz cream cheese
½ cup butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup frozen raspberries, thawed and strained
1/4 tsp raspberry extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners (yield=24).

2. Puree raspberry pie filling with sour cream in blender.

3. In large bowl, lightly beat eggs with vanilla and add raspberry/sour cream mixture.

4. Add cake mix, cinnamon, and baking soda. (For easy mixing, sift cake mix before adding.)

5. Fill liners ¾ full and bake for 12-14 minutes. (These bake faster than other cupcakes, be careful!)

6. Buttercream: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla and raspberry puree. Adjust consistency using powdered sugar and puree.

7. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes and top with fresh raspberries or mini chocolate chips.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
