LEMON RASPBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
• Line 2 cupcake tins with paper liners; set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter, vanilla extract, lemon extract, sugar, and lemon zest on medium-speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, beat in the sour cream, then the milk. Turn mixer off. Add in 3 and 1/4 cups of the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a fork to lightly toss the dry ingredients together. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter, mixing just until combined. Be sure not to over mix here or your cupcakes will be dense! Set aside. In a small bowl combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour with the raspberries; toss to coat. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the raspberries and any excess flour into the batter, stirring just until combined. Spoon batter into prepared cupcake tins (filling each mold 3/4 of the way). Bake one pan at a time, for about 22 minutes, or until a cupcake tester inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs attached. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer cupcakes to a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.
• In the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and lemon extract on medium-high speed until completely smooth; about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the sifted confectioners' sugar. Add in the lemon juice and zest. Once incorporated, increase speed to medium-high and beat for 1-2 minutes. Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, spread or pipe the frosting on top of the cupcakes. Decorate with fresh raspberries and a lemon slice, if desired.
• Cupcakes are best the day they are made, but will keep, covered and stored in the fridge, for 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

LEMON RASPBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Cut out two 9-inch round segments of parchment paper to line your cake pans with. Spray each pan generously - sides and bottom - with nonstick cooking spray, then place the parchment paper cut out in the bottom of the pans and spray again. It's important to make sure every bit of pan and paper are sprayed so your cakes don't get stuck. Set pans aside.
• In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), combine the butter, both sugars, lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla extract; beat on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes (don't skimp on time here!). Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, mixing well to evenly combine the ingredients. Add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until everything is just barely combined. You should still see some lumps and dry streaks. Turn mixer off. Add in the milk, sour cream, and lemon juice; use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients into the mixture, stirring until everything is incorporated, but being sure not to overmix. Set aside.
• In another bowl, gently toss the raspberries with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Add the raspberries, and any remaining flour, to the batter and fold in by hand, using a rubber spatula, until just combined. Again, be sure not to over mix! Over mixing is very easy to do, and will result in a dry, dense cake.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the tops are firm and slightly golden, and a cake tester (or toothpick) inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist (but not wet) crumbs clinging to it.
• Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen any stuck bits, then turning them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• While the cakes cool, you can make the frosting.

RASPBERRY CUPCAKE DESSERT

RASPBERRY LAGER CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For Soaking Syrup: Pour beer into a saucepan and add raspberries, bring to a gentle boil, stir occasionally, mashing raspberries as you stir. Once the beer has reduced by half, 7-10 minutes, remove from heat, allow to cool, then strain to remove raspberry bits. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350. Line cupcake pans with liners, 24ish. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder then set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream together oil, butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla, vinegar, red food color and mix well. Add flour mixture alternately with beer starting and ending with flour mixture. Mixing until just blended. Fill liners 2/3 full and bake 17-20 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in the center. Remove from oven and cool in pans 10 minutes then remove to cooling racks, while still warm, brush tops a couple times with soaking syrup. Cool completely, then frost with cream cheese frosting. And top with a fresh raspberry, if desired.
• For Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Scraping bowl as necessary, add vanilla, mixing well. Add powdered sugar and beat until very smooth, creamy and fluffy, 2-3 minutes
• ***Before brushing on soaking syrup, I like to take the ugliest cupcake and put it in the food processor to make crumbs to sprinkle on top for decoration. :o)
• If you prefer not to use the beer in your cupcake, you can use buttermilk plus 1 tsp raspberry extract. And for the soaking syrup I'd use Apple Raspberry Juice in place of the beer and proceed the same way. Also, here is a link for store locator for Shock Top Brand Beer, There are other raspberry beers too, so if Shock Top is not available in your area, please ask your local liquor store clerk. http://www.shocktopbeer.com/s/index.php/store-locator/ Enjoy!!! :o)
