I made double lemon cupcakes a few weeks ago, and they were a huge hit, even with the frosting haters. We had guests over for a birthday party this weekend and I decided I'd like to experiment a bit with the recipe. I ended up coming up with these chocolate raspberry cupcakes, which were really good. They're not tart like the lemon ones, but they're also not super sweet. Chocolate raspberry is a bit of an acquired taste, but if you like it like I do, you'll love these cupcakes. Note: These cupcakes have a mild chocolate flavour. If you want a more intense hit of chocolate, I'd recommend experimenting with increasing the amount of cocoa powder or adding melted chocolate to the batter. The raspberry icing gets its flavour from raspberry jam, but you could use any flavour jam. Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes Ingredients 1 cup white sugar 1/2 cup butter 2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla 1 1/2 cups flour 1 3/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 cup cocoa powder 3/4 cup milk Frosting Ingredients 1/4 cup butter 1/3 cup cream cheese 1 cups confectioners sugar 1 tsp lemon juice 1 tbsp raspberry jam Directions
