Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes WAR!!!
Amy is in Miami with Kaleigh, and Ashley is in Kent Ohio. Amy is making Sydnee cupcakes for her birthday and Ashley decided to make chocolate raspberry cupcakes for Regan, my new roommate. They were delicious!


1/3 cups plain flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup cocoa powder
3 1/4 tbsp butter, softened
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
frozen raspberries

Preheat oven to 350 F and line muffin tins with cases.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk and beat well.
Fill the muffin tins 3/4 full. In each individual cup, place a frozen raspberry and push down a little way into the batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.Leave to cool in tins for at least 10 minutes, then frost when completely cool.
For frosting, take about 1/4 cup of the remaining frozen raspberries and mash them. Mix them with chocolate frosting. Spread on cupcakes.

Yummy and soo pretty :)
