Raspberry Filled Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

January 26, 2021 Leave a Comment

Cupcakes are totally my thing.

I have shared a recipe on this blog before on how to make blueberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Check it out HERE. That recipe was a little heavier in density and since then I have been on the hunt for a light and fluffy vanilla cupcake recipe that I can pair with my cream cheese frosting (since it is one of my all time fav frostings).

To make the recipe even better, I decided to add some raspberry jam to the middle, which is a lot easier than you may think and makes the vanilla cupcake recipe that much better. I chose to make mine festive for Valentine’s Day with sprinkles and little candy hearts. You can decorate them however you want to!

What you’ll need: Most of these items you probably already have in your panty.

Flour

Sugar

Butter

Eggs

Vanilla Extract

Oil

Milk

Oh and baking powder; obviously.

Servings 12 cupcakes

Ingredients
  

Vanilla Cupcakes

  • 1 1/4 cup flour all-purpose
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • dash salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 6 tbsp butter unsalted and softened
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cupk unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups confectionary sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Raspberry Jam or Preserves for filling

    Instructions
     

    To make the Vanilla Cupcakes

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake liners in cupcake tin.
    • Mix flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
    • In a stand mixer, cream sugar, softened butter, and olive oil together. Mix for about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and eggs one at a time, mixing well between adding each egg. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl and mix well again.
    • Add about half the flour mixture, mix until combined. Add the almond milk and mix together. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until all the ingredients are combined well and batter is smooth.
    • Fill cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake in 350 degree oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
    • Once baking time is down, remove cupcakes from tin and place on a cooling rack. Once cooled, hollow out a small area in the middle of each cupcake and place about 1/2-1 tbsp of raspberry filling in each.

    Cream Cheese Frosting

    • Beat the cream cheese and butter together using a stand mixer until smooth.
    • Add in the vanilla and confectionary sugar slowly. Beat until frosting is smooth and thick.
    • Pipe frosting onto cooled, filled cupcakes. Decorate with sprinkles.

    Notes

    • Make sure that you bring butter, eggs and cream cheese to room temperature before mixing. It makes the batter and frosting that much smoother. 
    • Oven temperatures will vary so if you are uncertain about bake time, start at 15 minutes and if not cooked, bake for a couple more minutes at a time. 
    • You can substitute regular milk for the almond milk if you want. 

    This recipe is deceivingly easy and everyone will love these cupcakes. To make hallowing out the cupcakes easier you can grab THIS TOOL here off of Amazon. I just used a small knife and it worked just as well but this corer makes your life a little bit easier.

    You can also use any type of preserve or jelly for the filling or make your own. I love this Smucker’s brand.

    I had to make the difficult decision to say goodby I had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to Bella today. I’ve had Bella for 16 years. She has seen me through  relationships, marriages, a divorce, the birth of my children, countless moves and so much more. She was my little lazy dog that loved to snuggle under the covers and lay out in grass on a sunny day. 
She hated winter and tolerated the children. She’s going to be missed so much ❤️

    Supporting my postpartum body with @beli.baby Pren Supporting my postpartum body with @beli.baby Prenatal vitamins. 
Not only are the essential prior to conception and during pregnancy; they are essential to keep the body healthy after pregnancy as well. 
I have openly shared my previous miscarriages before finally getting pregnant with Chloe. This is why I decided to check out the Beli Women Prenatal vitamins to help with my own personal fertility and boost my chances of a having a successful pregnancy. The Beli Women Prenatal vitamins are formulated with powerful ingredients that can boost fertility and conception as well as  improve egg quality. As an older mom, this was especially important to me. During pregnancy, the Beli Women Prenatal can protect baby’s brain and spine, help reduce nausea, and then support postpartum recovery and breastfeeding.
And as a busy mom having the ability to order and have them delivered to your door monthly makes it that much easier for me to remember to take them.

    A little day off morning routine that for once was A little day off morning routine that for once was not pure craziness. 
Things that help me get out the door in the morning on time is getting up before the kids, having clothes picked out the night before and making sure their bags are packed for daycare and school. 
Mornings before work are a completely different ballgame.
