White Chocolate And Raspberry 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:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin pans with Reynolds® StayBrite® Baking Cups.
• Stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating on medium speed until combined. Scrape sides of bowl; beat about 2 minutes more or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Beat on medium to high speed for 20 seconds more.
• Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each one-half to two-thirds full. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out batter in cups.
• Bake about 18 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in muffin cups on wire racks for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from muffin pans. Cool completely on wire racks.
• Use a small paring knife to remove a cone-shape piece of cupcake, going down only about one-third to one-half of the way into the cupcake. Fill each with 1 teaspoon preserves. Top with the removed portion of the cupcake, then with Raspberry Frosting and fresh raspberries.
• Raspberry Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Gently fold in raspberry preserves.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups. Place mini paper baking cup in each of 12 mini muffin cups.
• In medium microwavable bowl, microwave 6 oz white chocolate and the butter uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until softened and mixture can be stirred smooth. Cool slightly. In medium bowl, beat egg yolks with whisk. Add spoonful of white chocolate mixture to yolks; stir with whisk. Stir in remaining white chocolate mixture.
• In small bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, water and white chocolate-egg yolk mixture with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Fold in egg whites. Spoon 1/4 cup batter into each regular-size muffin cup. Divide remaining batter among mini muffin cups, using about 1 tablespoon in each.
• Bake mini cupcakes 10 minutes, regular-size cupcakes 18 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Cool 10 minutes; remove cupcakes from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds, stirring once, until softened and chips can be stirred smooth. On sheet of cooking parchment paper, spoon melted chocolate into 24 (1-inch) round disks. Let stand until hardened.
• In another small microwavable bowl, melt 6 oz white chocolate uncovered on High about 1 minute, stirring once, until softened and chocolate can be stirred smooth. Spoon three-fourths of the melted white chocolate into decorating bag fitted with small round tip; pipe 24 desired initials onto sheet of cooking parchment paper. Let stand until hardened. Peel initials off parchment paper. Reheat remaining white chocolate left in microwavable bowl; brush small amount of melted chocolate on back of each initial to adhere to each milk chocolate disk.
• In medium bowl, mix frosting, powdered sugar and raspberries. Spoon into decorating bag fitted with tip #4PT; pipe frosting on regular and mini cupcakes. Top each with chocolate disk.

Steps:

• Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 325 F. Line muffin pans with paper liners. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Microwave white chocolate until melted and smooth. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the white chocolate and vanilla extract. With the mixer on low, alternately add the flour mixture (in 3 additions) and milk (in 2 additions), starting and ending with the flour. Beat just until incorporated. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cupcakes cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan to cool completely. Filling: Add the raspberries to the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a small saucepan to remove the seeds. Add the sugar and cornstarch to the pan, whisking to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat, whisking often. When it reaches a boil, remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Chill before filling cupcakes. Frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and raspberry filling on medium speed until completely incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the confectioners' sugar one cup at a time and beat until you reach your desired consistency. To assemble the cupcakes: Use a paring knife to cut a cone out of the center of each cupcake. Place a few teaspoons of the raspberry filling inside. Cut the tip of the cone off and replace it on top of the cupcake. Place the raspberry buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with your preferred tip, and frost the cupcakes. Garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
• Stir cake mix and Jell-O® mix together in a mixing bowl. Add thawed raspberries with syrup, vegetable oil, hot water, and eggs; beat with an electric mixer until well blended. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 25 more minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare mousse filling: Whisk cold milk and pudding mix in a bowl for 2 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until the cupcakes have finished cooling.
• Remove pudding from the refrigerator and fold in whipped topping. Load into a pastry bag fitted with a plain pastry tip.
• Poke the pastry tip into the center of each cupcake and squeeze until you see the cupcakes expand. Keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180C/ FAN 160C/ GAS 4. Put muffin cases into a 12-hole muffin tin, to keep a good even shape as they bake.
• Measure all the cupcake ingredients into a large bowl and beat until blended and smooth. Spoon evenly between the paper cases.
• Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20-25 minutes until risen and golden brown. Lift the paper cases out of the tin and cool the cases on a wire rack until completely cold before icing.
• To make the white chocolate icing melt white chocolate and leave to cool. Now mix the creme fraiche with the melted chocolate and ice the cakes and put 3 raspberries on each cake.
