- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda

Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with liners to ensure easy removal and presentation. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. - Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth. - Combine Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in dense cupcakes. - Fold in Raspberries:
Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them. - Fill the Cupcake Liners:
Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter to allow room for rising. - Bake:
Place the cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake to check for doneness; it should come out clean. - Cool:
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
