Sweet Pink Velvet Raspberry Cupcakes
Pink Velvet Raspberry Cupcakes baked with fresh raspberries in the batter and topped with luscious raspberry buttercream frosting. The perfect cupcake for your sweetheart!
Hey guys! This is Kathleen from Yummy Crumble. I'm so excited to be working with Courtney this year by sharing some recipes each month. Stop by my blog to see where I showcase my love for all things sweet and decadent! I have everything from recipes for the beginner baker to those already seasoned in the kitchen.
Let me introduce you to one of my loves. Pink Velvet Raspberry Cupcakes. They're light, they're fluffy, and you would never guess they were made from a box mix. It's very easy to make a box mix taste just like homemade. I promise. Just make a few adjustments to your ingredients, add a little something extra to make it special, and everyone will be asking for the recipe!
I used a pink velvet cake mix, and instead of oil I subbed melted butter, added an extra egg, and used whole milk instead of water. It makes a world of difference. And since the star of these Pink Velvet Raspberry Cupcakes are of course raspberries, I added fresh raspberries to the batter. It gave it that extra kick of tart raspberry flavor.
