Raspberry-Filled Vanilla Cupcakes.
If you are looking for a super special, absolutely rock-your-world delicious treat to bake for your special Valentine(s), look no further thank these amazing Raspberry-Filled Vanilla Cupcakes!
I have always admired beautiful cupcakes and love those special gourmet ones that have surprise fillings and are extravagantly decorated, but I have never had much success making them.
I had the urge to give it another try yesterday after purchasing some fun sprinkles I was dying to use somehow.
Disclaimer – I have a weird “thing” for sprinkles and buy way more than I ever use! I bought three different kinds of red/pink Valentiney ones and one big container of regular ones. My granddaughter had fun shaking them in the cart while we were shopping!
I found a recipe at RockRecipes.com that I tweaked up a bit. I was so excited with how beautiful and YUMMY they turned out.
When I handed one to Hubby to taste test, I said, “Are you ready to have your world rocked by this?”
He loved it!
Here is how I made them. Hope you give them a try.
Raspberry Filled Vanilla Cupcakes
Cupcake Batter:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
Raspberry Filling:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 1 oz. water
Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (4 oz.) cream cheese
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2-3 Tbsp milk
Directions:
To make cupcakes, preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well incorporated. Stir in vanilla. Add baking powder and salt, then fold in flour. Finally stir in milk to create batter.
Pour into paper-lined cupcake/muffin pan. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
While cupcakes are baking, prepare raspberry filling by stirring 1 cup raspberries and 1/4 cup sugar in small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
Dissolve cornstarch in water, and slowly pour into boiling berries. Stir constantly until thickened. Allow to cool.
Prepare frosting by blending together butter, cream cheese, and vanilla. Add powdered sugar and enough milk to make a smooth, creamy consistency.
When cupcakes are cooled, use an apple corer to remove a small section from center of cupcake. Fill with raspberry filling.
Decorate with cream cheese frosting and sprinkles and fresh raspberries if desired.
Enjoy!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
What a lucky valentine he is!!

Yummmmmmmmmm! Jodi! I’m looking for “frozen raspberries”.. and what is “evaporated milk”? Like condensed milk but without sugar?

Evaporated milk is sold in cans here like condensed milk, but yes – not all sweetened like that – it is simply simmered down. In fact, I read that you can make it by reducing regular milk. Here is what it says.
If you don’t have any, make your own: To produce 1 cup of evaporated milk, simmer 2 1/4 cups of regular milk down until it becomes 1 cup

These look delicious and purdy too! Funny story, my daughter’s godparents moved out of their house this past summer to a fifth wheel to go traveling for a few years. We got the remnants of their pantry that wouldn’t fit. We ended up with – no lie – almost 50 different sprinkle containers!! 😮 I sent those with my daughter off to college.
