RASPBERRY VANILLA CREAM CHEESE CUPCAKES Recipes

I don’t really make a lot of cupcakes but I’m beginning to warm to the idea of filled cupcakes and these Raspberry Vanilla Cream Cheese Cupcakes would change anyone’s mind.

With some leftover raspberry compote and a little leftover cream cheese frosting in the fridge too, I decided to combine two of my favourite dessert components into these sinfully delicious little treats

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups cake flour
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs at room temperature
• 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup undiluted evaporated milk

For the Raspberry Compote

• 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tsp corn starch
• 1 ounce water

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 3 1/2 cups icing sugar powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• a little milk

• To prepare the cupcake batter
• Sift together the flours, baking powder and salt and set aside.
• Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
