Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 0.25 cup raspberry jam

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them apart.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the cupcakes cool, prepare the raspberry cream filling by whipping the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries, mashing slightly to release their juices. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 10

For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and remaining powdered sugar together until smooth. Mix in the raspberry jam until well incorporated and the frosting is a light pink color.

Step 11

Once the cupcakes have cooled, use a small paring knife or cupcake corer to cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake. Fill the holes with the raspberry cream mixture.

Step 12

Pipe or spread the raspberry frosting on top of each cupcake.

Step 13

Garnish with additional fresh raspberries or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
