RECIPE (Cupcakes)
2 cups white sugar
1 (3 ounce) package raspberry flavored gelatin1 cup butter, softened
4 eggs, at room temp.
2 3/4 cups sifted cake flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup raspberry puree made from frozen sweetened raspberries
Preheat oven to 325F and line muffin tins with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and dry raspberry gelatin until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter alternately with the milk.
Blend in vanilla and raspberry puree. Divide the batter among the cupcake liners. Bake for 15-18 mins (depending on your oven!), or until a small knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool in their pans over a wire rack for 10 mins before removing to cool completely.
RECIPE (Frosting)
3 1/4 cups powdered sugar1 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 Tbsp. champagne
With an electric mixer, beat together sugar and butter. Mix on low until well blended, and then on medium for about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and champagne, beating on medium for another minute.
The frosting is now ready, and you can frost your cupcakes any way you'd like. I piped them on using a sandwich bag by opening the bag inside a large glass, adding the frosting and then twisting the top as I held it. Cut a small hold in one corner and then pipe the frosting on in circles.
Add sprinkles or another type of decor :)
They are seriously delicious! Enjoy!
And thank you Natasha for your wonderful recipe! Now go check out her blog, and let your taste buds get inspired!
Love, Sav
