Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¾ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

Tips:

  • For moist and fluffy cupcakes, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately and cream the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
  • To prevent the cupcakes from being too dry, don't overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • For a more intense raspberry flavor, use fresh raspberries in the batter and the frosting. You can also add a teaspoon of raspberry extract to the batter for an extra boost of flavor.
  • If you don't have a muffin pan, you can bake the cupcakes in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly (about 25-30 minutes).
  • These cupcakes are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cupcakes for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap each cupcake individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag.

Conclusion:

These Zucchini Raspberry Cupcakes are a delicious and moist treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their bright green color and sweet and tangy flavor, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
