Instructions 

CUPCAKES

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter, powdered sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl until fluffy and well blended. Add eggs; beating to blend. Beat in half the flour, then buttermilk and lemon juice, then the remaining flour.
  • Drop a spoonful of the cupcake batter into the bottom of each muffin cup. Spoon 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam on top of the batter of each muffin cup. Divide remaining batter among muffin cups to top the jam.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool cupcakes completely before frosting.

FROSTING

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and raspberry jam together until well mixed and smooth. Add powdered sugar, a cup at a time, until you reach a consistency that you desire. I used 3 cups for this recipe, which I found perfect for piping.
  • Frost cupcakes either by spreading frosting onto the cupcakes with a knife or by scooping the frosting into a piping bag for a more decorative look.
