- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- lemon rind – 1-2 teaspoons
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries, broken into small pieces
- 2 Tablespoons sifted cocoa powder
- Allow eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line mini cupcake pans with liners and set aside.
- Beat butter until smooth, gradually add sugar beating on medium-high until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs beating well after each one. Beat in vanilla.
- Alternate flour mixture with milk to butter mixture, beating on low just until combined (don’t overmix, if anything undermix). Divide your batter evenly into 3 separate bowls. In one bowl fold lemon rind into the batter. Using a mini ice cream scoop, scoop batter into mini cupcake liners, set aside.
- In another bowl gently fold frozen raspberries into the batter. Using a mini ice cream scoop, scoop batter into mini cupcake liners, set aside.
- In the third bowl take out 1/3 of the batter and place into a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa and 1 1/2 tablespoons of water. Mix well. Now in each cupcake liner spoon a small amount of chocolate batter, then a spoon of vanilla batter, and top with another scoop of chocolate batter, making 3 layers, alternating chocolate, vanilla, and chocolate.
- Bake mini cupcakes for 12- 15 minutes. Cool on the cooling rack, when cooled ice with icing.
