Delicate almond-flavored cupcakes filled with tangy raspberry jam, topped with sweet almond buttercream frosting—perfect for weddings or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
  9. In a small bowl, combine raspberry jam and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
  10. Once the cupcakes are cool, use a small knife or cupcake corer to create a hole in the center of each cupcake. Fill each hole with the raspberry filling.
  11. To make the frosting, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Beat until fluffy and smooth.
  12. Frost each cupcake with the almond buttercream frosting and garnish as desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute raspberry jam with any fruit preserves you prefer.
  • Chill the cupcakes slightly before coring to avoid crumbling.
  • Use a piping bag for neat and decorative frosting.
