Instructions
1. Prepare the Raspberry Filling
- In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with a fork and mix in the raspberry jam.
- If the mixture is too tart, stir in 1 tbsp powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
- Set aside while you prepare the cupcake batter.
2. Make the Chocolate Batter
- Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Stir in the sugar, eggs, and egg yolks, mixing well until combined.
- Add the vanilla extract, then fold in the flour and salt until the batter is smooth and glossy.
3. Fill & Assemble the Cupcakes
- Fill each cupcake liner halfway with chocolate batter.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the raspberry filling into the center of each cupcake.
- Cover with more chocolate batter until the liners are about ΒΎ full.
4. Bake to Perfection
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes sit for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
5. Serve & Enjoy!
- Dust the cupcakes with powdered sugar, top with fresh raspberries, and serve warm.
- For the ultimate experience, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- When you cut into the cupcake, the gooey raspberry chocolate lava will ooze out beautifully!
