Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
• Mix together vanilla cake mix, 1 cup water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until cake mix is moist. Raise mixer speed to medium and beat until batter is smooth, 2 minutes.
• Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes are very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 23 minutes.
• Cool cupcakes in the pans for 5 minutes; transfer cupcakes to cooling rack to finish cooling.
• Place raspberries, 1 tablespoon water, and white sugar in a blender and pulse several times to chop raspberries; blend until pureed, about 30 seconds.

• Spoon about 2 teaspoons raspberry filling into each cupcake.
• Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals until chips begin to melt, about 1 minute. Stir and repeat, heating chips about 10 seconds at a time, until thoroughly melted. Stir until chocolate is smooth and no more lumps remain.
• Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Beat in half the confectioners' sugar, melted white chocolate chips, and milk until mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Slowly beat in remaining confectioners' sugar until smooth; if frosting is too stiff, beat in more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.
• Spread or pipe the white chocolate frosting over the cupcakes to cover the raspberry filling; drizzle or pipe any remaining raspberry filling over cupcakes.

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND RASPBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 350°; line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper or foil liners.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
• Using an electric mixer on med-high speed, beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
• Add in the egg; beat until combined.
• Add in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the milk in two additions, beating on low speed until combined; scrape down the sides of bowl as needed.
• Add the white chocolate and beat on low speed just until combined.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
• Bake until lightly golden and a pick comes out clean, 18-20 minutes.
• Let the cupcakes cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
• Remove the cupcakes from the can (the cooled cupcakes can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days; bring cupcakes to room temperature before finishing).
• Place the raspberries in a small bowl; use a fork to crush them lightly.
• Spoon crushed raspberries on top of the cupcakes, dividing them evenly (don't worry if the raspberry juices run down the sides of the cupcakes, the color adds to the cupcakes charm).
• Frost the cupcakes with a dollop of white chocolate buttercream, garnish with white chocolate curl and serve right away.

WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F/ 175˚C and place a rack in the center of the oven. Line a 12 muffin tin with 12 paper cupcake cases.
• In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl add the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla, and lemon juice and whisk it well to combine.
• Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir it through. Add in ⅓ of the milk. Continue this, alternating between milk and flour until it's all combined. Don't overbeat the mixture.
• Toss the white chocolate chips in a small bowl with about ½ tablespoon of flour to lightly coat them. This helps to stop them from sinking in the batter. Fold the chocolate chips into the cupcake batter, leaving behind any excess flour in the bowl.
• Scoop ⅔ of the mixture into the 12 paper cases. Place 4-5 raspberries onto each cupcake and gently press them in a little. Top with the remaining cupcake batter.
• Bake the cupcakes for around 20-24 minutes until golden brown and until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. The tops of cupcakes should spring back when lightly pressed.
• Cupcakes with frozen raspberries will need slightly longer baking. Once baked, let the cupcakes cool down completely to room temperature on a wire rack.
• Bring a pot of water (with 1 inch of water) to a simmer.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add egg whites and granulated sugar. Balance the bowl over this simmering water bath. Whisk continuously as the egg whites warm-up and keep whisking until all the sugar has dissolved or the temperature reads 160°F (71°C) on an instant-thermometer. Don't stop stirring or some egg whites may overcook on the edges of the bowl.
• Once the sugar has dissolved, place the bowl in your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until a meringue with stiff peaks forms and the meringue has cooled down to room temperature. When you touch the sides of the bowl they shouldn't feel warm.
• While the egg whites are beating, place the chocolate in a microwave-proof bowl and melt it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds at a time, stirring after each time. Once about ⅔ of the chocolate has melted, remove it from the microwave and stir it to further melt it and combine it. Let the chocolate cool to room temperature.
• With the mixer on medium-high speed, feed in a cube of room temperature butter at a time, allowing it to incorporate fully before adding the next cube. At this point, the frosting can suddenly appear split or curdled and look like cottage cheese. Just keep beating the mixture until it comes together into a thick and cohesive buttercream. This can take a lot of beating so don't give up if it doesn't seem to come together - it will. Keep beating it until it no longer looks greasy.
• Once the mixture is thick and cohesive, add in the melted chocolate and salt and beat until thick and fluffy.
• Switch to the paddle attachment and beat on low speed for 5-10 minutes to remove some of the larger air bubbles in the buttercream.
• Scoop the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Ensure the cupcakes are completely cooled, then pipe the frosting on top of each cupcake.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE-FILLED RASPBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
• Stir cake mix and Jell-O® mix together in a mixing bowl. Add thawed raspberries with syrup, vegetable oil, hot water, and eggs; beat with an electric mixer until well blended. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 25 more minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare mousse filling: Whisk cold milk and pudding mix in a bowl for 2 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until the cupcakes have finished cooling.
• Remove pudding from the refrigerator and fold in whipped topping. Load into a pastry bag fitted with a plain pastry tip.
• Poke the pastry tip into the center of each cupcake and squeeze until you see the cupcakes expand. Keep refrigerated.

WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 325 F. Line muffin pans with paper liners. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Microwave white chocolate until melted and smooth. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the white chocolate and vanilla extract. With the mixer on low, alternately add the flour mixture (in 3 additions) and milk (in 2 additions), starting and ending with the flour. Beat just until incorporated. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cupcakes cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan to cool completely. Filling: Add the raspberries to the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a small saucepan to remove the seeds. Add the sugar and cornstarch to the pan, whisking to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat, whisking often. When it reaches a boil, remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Chill before filling cupcakes. Frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and raspberry filling on medium speed until completely incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the confectioners' sugar one cup at a time and beat until you reach your desired consistency. To assemble the cupcakes: Use a paring knife to cut a cone out of the center of each cupcake. Place a few teaspoons of the raspberry filling inside. Cut the tip of the cone off and replace it on top of the cupcake. Place the raspberry buttercream in a pastry bag fitted with your preferred tip, and frost the cupcakes. Garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.
