raspberry cupcakes

[tethersend]

I have some raspberries which need using- can I puree them and add them to my usual cupcake mixture?

Or does anyone have a good recipe?

Theres a recipe on here for raspberry and white chocolate muffins which are delicious

Thanks CMOT- I have a vision of iced raspberry cupcakes though... don't think the chocolate would work. Besides, I'd have to go to the shop and get some and I'm just too lazy

As shrove Tuesday is upon us tomorrow, what about Chocolate pancakes with raspberries and creme fraiche?

The full recipe is here www.mydish.co.uk/recipe/5055/Chocolate%20Pancakes%20with%20Raspberries%20and%20Creme%20Fraiche

make sure you join the Great Ormond Street group while you're on there x

another vote for raspberry and white choc muffins
iirc it's in an annabel karmel book too

Thanks guys... I really am after raspberry cupcakes sans chocolate though

Shall I just add crushed raspberries and see what happens?

I recently made a Madeira cake with raspberries and almonds. Served it to MIL and FIL who like cake and MIL a good baker. They said it was my best ever.

Can post recipe later if you are interested.

Or if you are really set on cupcakes, I would keep the mix plain and add pureed rasps to the icing.

Sounds interesting, taffeta- would love to have the recipe if you've time to post it...

ok here we go...it's a Nigella recipe www.nigella.com/recipe/recipe_detail.aspx?rid=12903
