WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY FILLED CUPCAKES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
• Mix together vanilla cake mix, 1 cup water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until cake mix is moist. Raise mixer speed to medium and beat until batter is smooth, 2 minutes.
• Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes are very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 23 minutes.
• Cool cupcakes in the pans for 5 minutes; transfer cupcakes to cooling rack to finish cooling.
• Place raspberries, 1 tablespoon water, and white sugar in a blender and pulse several times to chop raspberries; blend until pureed, about 30 seconds.
• Whisk cornstarch with 1/4 cup water until thoroughly combined; pour mixture into the raspberry mixture in the blender and blend again until smooth.
• Pour raspberry mixture into a saucepan and simmer over low heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Let the raspberry filling cool.
• Cut a core out of each cupcake about 1 1/2 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
• Spoon about 2 teaspoons raspberry filling into each cupcake.
• Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals until chips begin to melt, about 1 minute. Stir and repeat, heating chips about 10 seconds at a time, until thoroughly melted. Stir until chocolate is smooth and no more lumps remain.
• Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Beat in half the confectioners' sugar, melted white chocolate chips, and milk until mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Slowly beat in remaining confectioners' sugar until smooth; if frosting is too stiff, beat in more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.
• Spread or pipe the white chocolate frosting over the cupcakes to cover the raspberry filling; drizzle or pipe any remaining raspberry filling over cupcakes.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 350°; line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper or foil liners.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
• Using an electric mixer on med-high speed, beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
• Add in the egg; beat until combined.
• Add in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the milk in two additions, beating on low speed until combined; scrape down the sides of bowl as needed.
• Add the white chocolate and beat on low speed just until combined.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
• Bake until lightly golden and a pick comes out clean, 18-20 minutes.
• Let the cupcakes cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
• Remove the cupcakes from the can (the cooled cupcakes can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days; bring cupcakes to room temperature before finishing).
• Place the raspberries in a small bowl; use a fork to crush them lightly.
• Spoon crushed raspberries on top of the cupcakes, dividing them evenly (don't worry if the raspberry juices run down the sides of the cupcakes, the color adds to the cupcakes charm).
• Frost the cupcakes with a dollop of white chocolate buttercream, garnish with white chocolate curl and serve right away.
