Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with liners.
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add milk, lemon extract, and lemon juice, mixing until smooth.
- Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Notes
For added flavor, consider using lemon zest in the batter. These cupcakes are best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a day.
