Description
A vanilla cupcakes with white chocolate chips, filled with raspberry puree and topped with a white chocolate buttercream frosting!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4oz (113g) butter @ room temp.
- 3/4 cup ((143g) of sugar
- 1 1/4 cup (124g) of flour
- 1/4 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 1 tsp (4.2g) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1g) kosher salt
- 2 eggs @ room temp.
- 1/4 cup (30g) sour cream
- 1/3 cup (60g) white chocolate chunks
- 1 tsp (5g) vanilla
Filling:
- 8 ounces (225g) frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon (15g) water
- 3 tablespoons (36g) sugar
- 1 tablespoon (9.5g) cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup (60g) water
Frosting:
- 5 oz (141g) white chocolate
- 2 cups (260g) confectioners sugar
- 2/3 tsp (4g) vanilla extract
- 4 oz (113g) softened butter
- 1/4 cup (61g) milk
- Pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt and set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a separate clean, large bowl with an electric beater on high until fluffy.
- Add the eggs in, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add in the vanilla extract.
- Add the sour cream, then turn beater to low (or switch to a whisk) and gently stir in the flour mixture.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips at the end.
- Pour into a cupcake pan with liners, distributing evenly among 12.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out dry.
For the filling
- Puree all the ingredients in a blender or processor or bullet.
- Push the finished sauce through a sieve to remove any raspberry seeds.
- Use a knife or a cupcake corer to cut out a hole in the center of each cooled cupcake.
- Add a spoonful or so of the raspberry puree (I like to make a fairly large hole and fill it up to the top).
- Top with part of the cake that you just removed so that the puree is buried in the center.
For the Frosting
- Beat all the frosting ingredients together with an electric beater on high until fluffy.
- Add more milk to make it creamier, or more sugar to make it stiffer.
- Swirl frosting on top with a spoon or piping bag with a star tip.
- *For the rose effect, I used a star tip and started swirling from the inside out.
Notes
I would recommend using frozen raspberries for the puree and fresh ones to decorate so they can show off a little!
