Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes with Almond Buttercream



These Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes taste great because they have both rich chocolate and the sour taste of fresh raspberries. They are a great treat for any event because the almond buttercream makes them sweet and nutty.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • For Almond Buttercream:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions:

Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin

Mix the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl with a whisk

Leave it alone

Put the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until the mixture is light and fluffy

One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one

Add the vanilla extract and mix well

Mix in the medium-sized bowl's dry ingredients by adding the sour cream and milk one at a time

Put the dry ingredients in first and end with them

Don't mix any further than that

Be careful as you fold the fresh raspberries into the batter

Fill each cupcake liner about two thirds of the way to the top with batter

After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes in the pan, then move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

Get the almond buttercream ready while the cupcakes cool

Put the softened butter in a bowl and beat it until it's smooth

Slowly add the powdered sugar and almond extract while beating the mixture until it is well mixed

It will be light and fluffy after you add the heavy cream

You can use a piping bag or a knife to frost the cupcakes with the almond buttercream once they are completely cool

You can add more fresh raspberries or chocolate shavings as a garnish if you want to

Enjoy your Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes with Almond Buttercream after you've served them!
