These lightly sweetened cupcakes with slightly pink frosting are perfect for a Valentine’s Day treat.
INGREDIENTS
-1/4 cup butter, softened at room temperature
-1/4-1/3 cup sugar
-1/4 cup sour cream
-1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-2 eggs
-1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1 cup all-purpose flour
-1 recipe Raspberry Frosting
-raspberries
INSTRUCTIONS
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
-Cream the butter and the sugar with a handheld mixer until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Add in the sour cream, milk, vanilla, and eggs and beat to combine. Add the baking powder, salt, and flour, and mix until just combined. Stir with a spatula to make sure all of the dry ingredients are combined thoroughly.
-Spoon into paper liners, filling each cup about halfway. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until just golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.
-Mash 1/2 cup raspberries in a small bowl with a fork. Spoon into a fine mesh colander and press and scrape through the wire to release the juices into a small bowl. Discard the seeds. You should have about 1/4 cup smooth raspberry puree. Set aside.
-Beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream, and 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add additional sweetener if necessary.
-Beat in raspberry puree.
-Spread or pipe (I use a zip-top plastic bag with one corner cut off as a piping bag) onto cupcakes. Garnish with a raspberry on each if desired.
