I’ve never been a fan of white chocolate. If I’m going to indulge in a chocolate treat it won’t be white chocolate, but when it comes to cooking with it that’s a different story. I love baking with white chocolate. It creates such rich flavors and it doesn’t matter what kind of dessert it’s incorporated with; cookies, brownies, but most importantly cupcakes! A white chocolate cupcake – wonderful. Now imagine a white chocolate cupcake with raspberry filling – phenomenal. This pairing of a decadent cupcake and a tangy fruit filling will leave anyone wanting more! These cupcakes are always the first to go. Devoured – just like that. If you’re looking for a cupcake that’ll leave an impression you must try this recipe. On the other hand, be prepared for a future of requests because they’ll be asking for these for the next year! Now do you believe me? These cupcakes are that good!

If you’re ready – let’s get started!
