LEMON RASPBERRY CUPCAKES image

Categories     Citrus     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cupcakes
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
12 teaspoons seedless raspberry jam (Confession: I didn't use seedless)
Frosting
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, powdered sugar, and lemon zest in a large bowl until fluffy & well blended. Add eggs, beating to blend. Beat in half the flour, then buttermilk and lemon juice, then the remaining flour. Drop a spoonful of the cupcake batter into the bottom of each muffin cup. Use the back of a spoon to spread it around to the edges of the tin, otherwise the jam will go right to the bottom. Spoon 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam on top of the batter of each muffin cup. Divide remaining batter among muffin cups to top the jam. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool cupcakes completely before frosting. To make the frosting, in a large mixing bowl, beat butter and raspberry jam together until well mixed and smooth. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until you reach a consistency that you desire. Pipe onto cupcakes and decorate!

Overall, I thought these cupcakes were pretty good. They were easy to make and they tasted good. I would definitely make them again, but I might try a different frosting next time.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try them again with less sugar next time.

These cupcakes were a bit dry, but the frosting helped to make up for it. I think I'll try adding some more moisture to the batter next time, maybe with some sour cream or yogurt.

I had some trouble getting the cupcakes to rise properly. I'm not sure if I didn't mix the ingredients well enough or if my oven wasn't hot enough. Other than that, they tasted great.

These cupcakes are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The lemon frosting is tangy and refreshing, while the raspberry filling is sweet and juicy. I highly recommend them!
