  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon water (slurry)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream, cold

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, yogurt, and warm water until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients just until no lumps remain.
  5. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake 18–20 minutes. Cool completely.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine raspberries and sugar. Heat until berries break down. Add cornstarch slurry and stir until thickened. Cool and spoon into center of each cupcake by coring out a small piece.

  8. Top with fresh raspberries and drizzle berry sauce for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Serve chilled for a creamy contrast to the rich chocolate base.
  • Pair with mint tea or a hot cup of espresso.
  • Add crushed cookies or nuts on top for extra crunch.
  • Make the raspberry compote ahead for quick assembly.
  • Use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream for a vegan option.
  • Add a pinch of lemon zest to the frosting for a fresh twist.
