Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs, room temperature 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk 1 cup confectioners’ sugar 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam 12 raspberries, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 12-cup muffin pan, or use liners. Combine flour, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat granulated sugar and 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. With mixer on low, beat in flour mixture in two parts, alternating with 1/2 cup milk.

Divide batter among prepared muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in pan 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Meanwhile, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, cocoa, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy. With mixer on low, gradually add cocoa mixture, scraping down side of bowl as necessary. Gradually beat in 2 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat frosting until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds.

Using a paring knife, cut a 1-inch-deep piece from the top of each cupcake (do not discard). Fill each hole with 1 teaspoon jam and replace cutout pieces. Frost cupcakes and top with raspberries.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       02/05/2018   Fantastic recipe and very quick and easy, too! The cake itself is delicious and the jam inside is perfect. But that frosting... wow! These were a really special treat.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/27/2012   I have had no luck with cupcakes until I tried my hands on to this recipe. Very easy to make and it comes out perfect. This is my third time making it. Kids love to bite into chocolate and jam filling. I am going to make it with strawberry jam this time. Thanks!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/02/2012   These are amazing! I love the combinations of chocolate, raspberry and almond flavours often found in German recipes so I changed this up a bit. I made them with French raspberry jam inside and also used only 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract. I am not certain the bit of almond was enough to make much difference, so next time I will reverse the quantities. This only makes a dozen so you won't have too many leftovers if you are a small family. Delicious  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/08/2011   This was a great recipe! I did use the pastry bag for inserting the jam, and there was also too much chocolate frosting left over, but other than that, turned out great! I made them for a party in my civics class at school :)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/06/2011   I've made this recipe twice, once by cutting out the perfect little cylinder, and once by jamming a tip into the center and squeezing the filling (I used blueberry all-fruit) inside. I preferred that method. My daughter requested these for her 5th birthday with a vanilla cream-cheese frosting, and they were delicious!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/21/2011   I've made jam-filled cupcakes before, but I find that using a decorator bag with a round deco-tip easier to insert the jam into the cupcake. No cutting necessary! However, it's good to experiement first (outside the cake), just so you know how much squeeze will get the desired amount.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/10/2011   Also, the cupcakes are really easy to do and really good!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/08/2011   I added the extra milk that everybody suggested, and baked them with the jam. They turned out perfect! So moist and yummy!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/05/2010   I added cheries jam to the cupcakes and substitued the whole milk for whipped cream for the chocolate frosting. They look great!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/02/2009   Easy and delicious! I didn't even put the jam in the center and they still tasted great.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/02/2009   There wasn't enough frosting for a generous amount per cupcake (which is the way I like it), but it tasted delicious. However, the cake itself tasted too much of eggs and baking powder for my taste!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/04/2009   that's not a melon baller, it's a teaspoon. the paring knife helps make a clean cut, and ideally you want to make a cone shaped piece to remove. This will keep from weakening the cupcake too much, and should help ensure you don't poke through the bottom.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/01/2009   Fantastic recipe. Doesn't need 1 tsp salt - just half is fine. Your arteries will thank you.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/31/2009   This whole recipe is great, but especially the chocolate frosting - don't even think of using canned when this one is so easy and inexpensive to make. Also, the fourth step says to use a paring knife, but the picture shows a melon baller. If you have a melon baller, definitely use it - it makes easy work of making the little plugs.
