Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes


  • Author: Samantha

Ingredients

Scale

To make these scrumptious Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with liners to ensure easy removal and presentation.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Fold in Raspberries:
    Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them.
  6. Fill the Cupcake Liners:
    Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter to allow room for rising.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
