For the Vanilla Cupcakes:
- 1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk
- ½ cup fresh raspberries, lightly mashed (or frozen, thawed and drained)
For the Raspberry Glaze:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar (more for thicker glaze)
- 1–2 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 min). Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
- Mix in dry ingredients and milk alternately. Gently fold in the mashed raspberries.
- Divide batter among cupcake liners and bake 18–22 min. Cool on a wire rack before glazing.
- Make the Raspberry Glaze: Cook raspberries until soft, press through a sieve, whisk in powdered sugar and lemon juice. Spoon or drizzle over cupcakes.
Notes
- For extra moisture, brush cupcakes with raspberry syrup before glazing.
- You can swirl raspberry puree into the batter for a marbled look.
- Keep cupcakes in an airtight container; best glazed on the same day.
