Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

  • Frosting of choice (lemon or berry-flavored)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with your favorite paper liners.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Incorporate the buttermilk and lemon zest: Slowly pour in the buttermilk and lemon zest, mixing on low speed.
  6. Combine the dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the raspberries using a spatula.
  8. Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool the cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Frost the cooled cupcakes with your chosen frosting and enjoy!

Notes

If your frosting is too thick, add a splash of milk or cream; if it’s too thin, add a bit of powdered sugar.
