Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raspberry filling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cupcakes.
- Prepare cupcake pan: Line a standard cupcake pan with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and sugar together until light and fluffy to create a creamy base for the batter.
- Add wet ingredients: Incorporate the eggs one at a time along with vanilla and almond extracts, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt for an even distribution of leavening agents.
- Mix dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until fully combined to avoid overmixing and ensure tender cupcakes.
- Fill cupcake liners partially: Spoon batter into each cupcake liner until they are about halfway full, leaving room for the filling.
- Add raspberry filling: Place about one teaspoon of raspberry filling in the center of the batter in each cupcake liner to create a delicious surprise inside.
- Top with more batter: Cover the filling with more cupcake batter until the liners are roughly two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcake (avoiding the filling) comes out clean.
- Cool before serving: Remove cupcakes from the pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature to achieve a creamy blend with sugar.
- Do not overmix the batter once flours are added to maintain a tender crumb.
- Use fresh raspberry filling or high-quality store-bought preserves for the best taste.
- Check cupcakes near the end of baking time to avoid overbaking and dryness.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting or serving to prevent melting or sogginess.
