Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup raspberry buttercream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Prepare the wet mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine the batters: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just blended.
  5. Fill the cupcake liners: Fill each liner halfway, add a few raspberries in the center, then fill to 3/4 full with more batter.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until edges are set with a slight jiggle in the centers.
  7. Cool the cupcakes in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and frost with raspberry buttercream.

Notes

Consider using frozen raspberries if fresh are unavailable. These cupcakes can be enjoyed warm or cooled with frosting.
