How to Make Raspberry Filled Vanilla Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter in the microwave.
- Add 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla cake mix, 3 large eggs, and 1/2 cup (120ml) water to the melted butter.
- Mix on low speed for 1 minute, then on high speed for 1 minute, or until well combined.
- Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cupcakes cool completely in the muffin tin before removing.
- While cupcakes cool, prepare the raspberry filling: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (100g) sugar, 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (60ml) water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Stir in 1 cup (140g) fresh raspberries.
- Once cupcakes are completely cool, use a small round cookie cutter or knife to cut a small circle from the top of each cupcake. Gently fill the cavity with raspberry filling and replace the removed portion.
- Prepare the buttercream frosting: In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar, beating until combined. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2-3 tablespoons of milk or water, beating until smooth and creamy.
- Frost the cupcakes generously with the buttercream frosting.
