Gourmet Raspberry Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

My Friend Naomi gave me some of these cupcakes. Now if you didn’t know… I LOVE cake and frosting.

This was one of the best cupcakes I have ever tasted. She was very kind to share the recipe with me because I think these could be world famous. They are so delicious, and so simple to make, but honestly taste like a gourmet cupcake.

I was shocked at how simply, they came together, and how amazing they tasted.

I love chocolate and raspberries, more than any other food combination (yes that includes chocolate and peanut butter).

But these Gourmet Raspberry Filled Chocolate Cupcakes will change your life. They are so yummy.

raspberry filling short cut:

I highly recommend trying the raspberry filling in the cupcake recipe. However, if you are short on time, I highly recommend trying a raspberry jam or preserve.

My husband likes when I use a seedless preserve, because he hates getting the seeds stuck in his teeth.

I personally prefer the taste of the raspberry glaze, explained in the recipe, but as a shortcut, raspberry jam is always a great option.

what other fruit could i use?

I personally can’t get enough of raspberries. They are by far, my most favorite fruit.

However, I know that not everybody loves them. If you want to replace them, here are a few options:

• strawberries
• blackberries
• blueberries
• cherries

You could also try something sweet like:

• Reese’s or peanut butter
• Snickers
• Oreo’s
• Twix
• Chocolate Fudge
