Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs

• ½ cup milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• Heart-shaped sprinkles for decoration

How to Make Vanilla Cupcakes with Whipped Cream and Raspberries

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
8. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
9. Once the cupcakes are cooled, generously top each with whipped cream and garnish with fresh raspberries and heart-shaped sprinkles.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming with sugar.
• Don’t overmix the batter; stop as soon as the flour is incorporated to keep the cupcakes light.
• Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for better volume.
• Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor; you can also mix them with a little sugar if you prefer them sweeter.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the raspberries for other berries like strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a splash of lemon juice or zest to the whipped cream for a citrusy twist.
• Use a chocolate cupcake base instead of vanilla for a rich variation.
• Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra decadent treat.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla or berry sorbet for a refreshing complement.
• A cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat.
• Fruit salad for a light and fruity side.
• Ice cream for a classic dessert pairing.
