Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes




I made chocolate cupcakes and about half were filled with a raspberry filling. The other half I didn't fill. All were topped with a rich butter cream frosting that was spiked with two shots of Chambord. The raspberry liqueur was very subtle, but still yummy.

Next time I want to try Orange Creamsicle cupcakes. I'll just need to pick up some oranges as I want to add some zest to the batter to really give it a kick. The frosting will be butter cream but with more vanilla than I normally use, perhaps I'll douse it with some Grand Marnier too, for good measure. Maybe I'll make that Monday night if we get home early enough from our wine tasting adventure.
