How to Make Raspberry Cream Cupcakes

  1. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. (You may need to bake in two batches)
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite white cake mix, 1/2 cup water, 3 large egg whites, 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, or until batter is smooth and well combined.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cupcakes cool completely in the muffin tin before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. While cupcakes cool, coarsely mash 1 1/2 (10 oz) containers of fresh raspberries in a medium bowl.
  9. In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with 1/3 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  10. Gently fold the mashed raspberries into the whipped cream.
  11. Once cupcakes are completely cool, remove the paper liners.
  12. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice off the tops of the cupcakes, creating a flat surface.
  13. Spoon or pipe the raspberry whipped cream onto the cupcake bottoms.
  14. Replace the cupcake tops.
  15. Dust with additional powdered sugar and garnish with fresh raspberries. Serve immediately or chill for later.
