Lime Raspberry Cupcakes with Raspberry Buttercream

When you’re cupcake baker, you pretty much know that when there’s an event, you’re going to take cupcakes. When it’s not a paying gig, it’s a great time to experiment and come up with something new, so I took that opportunity on Saturday when I was asked to bring cupcakes to a family birthday party. Lime Raspberry Cupcakes weren’t even a thought yet.

Off to CostCo went the husband, and I told him to find some produce or ingredients that were inspiring. This is what he came home with.

That’s five pounds of limes and two packages of raspberries.

A few minutes later, we’d decided on lime cupcakes with raspberry filling and raspberry buttercream, and my lime raspberry cupcakes recipe was born.

I took my favorite basic white cupcake recipe. Over the years, I’ve studied a lot of recipes and tweaked them, coming up with my own versions. This particular white cupcake batter has five egg-whites, whipped to almost stiff peaks, that are folded in the batter after all the other ingredients are combined. It results in a very light batter with the tangy taste of the zest and fresh juice of four limes.

The raspberry filling is very easy. Water, sugar, cornstarch and fresh lemon juice mixed thoroughly and brought to a boil; let it thicken significantly and then pour in the fresh raspberries, mashing them gently while you mix them. Let that boil until it thickens further, then as it cools, it will thicken even more. So good!

Once the cupcakes are baked and cooled, I cored out the centers and filled them with the raspberry sauce and covered with buttercream made with a little more of the raspberry filling mixed in for color and flavor. It resulted in a subtle lime batter, flavorful raspberry center and mild raspberry buttercream, where I added just a little less sugar so the raspberries were the star.

Score!

Cupcakes can take a little time, but they don’t need to be an all-day event. Let the ingredients you see inspire you to think outside of the box and come up with a fantastic new treat for your family! Enjoy my lime raspberry cupcakes!

Missing days like this at Disneyland. La Trattoria Missing days like this at Disneyland. La Trattoria in DCA has always been a favorite place to take a break and relax. Or to just wait out traffic in the evening. I can’t wait to do this again...but I may never leave the Avengers Campus the first few visits.

My new take on an old classic cocktail shines due My new take on an old classic cocktail shines due to the addition of Ojai Pixie Tangerines! This untraditional version of a Bourbon Sour takes on a new flavor profile by replacing lemon juice and most of the simple syrup with fresh tangerine juice. Still tangy, still refreshing and still bourbon-y, you’ll want to add it to your backyard gathering or nights around the fire pit bar menus. With only three ingredients, you’ll be serving up cocktails in just a few quick shakes.

It may have been way too long since we played bocc It may have been way too long since we played bocce ball. Easter weather and the kids all together called for at least one round at the empty park. I did not win but I may have if we hadn’t cut the game short to come back and finish making dinner.

Good times, good times. I hope you had a happy Easter weekend, too!

Did you start a pandemic garden? I’ve gardened Did you start a pandemic garden? 

I’ve gardened forever now but 2020 made me rethink it. I wanted it to be as pretty as it was useful, and lavender is extremely multipurpose. Pretty. Smells amazing. Edible. And it helps you relax. I dry it and put it in sachets. I put it in my Magical Butter machine and make tinctures and oils. It makes a delish infused simple syrup for champs and a stalk stuck into a vodka cocktail adds a pop of color and flavor. 

Did I mention it just looks pretty? Bonus points for being my favorite color. I buy two new plants every year....except last year. By the time I could go into a nursery, no one had any. So I ordered seeds, but they aren’t ready to plant yet, so I’m short this year. Cultivating and growing lavender takes work, because they easily get too woody and stop blooming. I am a season off my game now but next year, it’s going to be a mini lavender festival in my own tiny backyard.
