Instructions

For the cupcakes

  1. Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer, mix them until you get a smooth batter.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180℃/ 356℉ or gas mark 4.
  3. Line the cupcake tin with cupcake cases. Then spoon the cupcake batter into each case.
  4. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the cupcakes look golden and springy to the touch.
  5. Leave the cupcakes on a cooling rack to cool down to room temperature before icing them with buttercream.

For the buttercream

  1. Beat the butter and icing sugar in a large mixing bowl until they are combined.
  2. Add the milk and whisk the butter mixture until it becomes lighter in color and fluffy.
  3. Mix the raspberry jam into the buttercream and whisk well.

Notes

  • If you use frozen raspberries, make sure you fully thaw them. Do so on a colander so any water from the frozen raspberries will be discarded.
  • If you don’t have seedless raspberry jam, just use ordinary seeded raspberry jam. Take about 3½ teaspoons, warm it up, and sieve it. Discard the pulp and the seeds. Use the sieved jam for the buttercream.
