Ingredients
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1.5 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
0.5 cup whole milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
0.5 cup seedless raspberry jam
8 oz cream cheese, softened
0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp milk (if needed for frosting consistency)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter, egg, milk, and vanilla, then beat until smooth.
Step 3: Divide the batter evenly among the liners and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
Step 4: Use a small knife or corer to remove the center of each cupcake. Fill the hole with about 1-2 teaspoons of raspberry jam.
Step 5: Beat the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar until smooth. Pipe the frosting onto the filled cupcakes.
Step 6: Poke two small holes in the frosting using a toothpick. Drip a small amount of extra raspberry jam into and around the holes to create the vampire bite effect.
Notes
Ensure cupcakes are fully cooled before filling to prevent the jam from soaking too deeply into the cake.
