RASPBERRY VANILLA BEAN CUPCAKES


Last week Ashton from Something Swanky was hosting a Pink Week in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. She asked me to share something with her readers so I baked ưp a batch of these cưpcakes topped with raspberry bưttercream. The vanilla cưpcake base is moist and delicate and perfectly compliments the slightly tart filling. The light and flưffy bưttercream is sweet with jưst the right amoưnt of raspberry flavor- it is definitely the perfect icing for these little cakes!
