Raspberry Jam filled cupcakes



A raspberry filled cupcake? Is there anything better? So today I decided to take a regular box mix cake to the next level. I filled it with Raspberry jam, I know nothing to exciting, but man did they taste good. I made these for the Drama team and I made half jelly filled and half plain, They were gone in minutes, there wasn't even a crumb in sight. You could use any kind of jam/jelly, or peanut butter, basically you could fill these with whatever your heart desires.. Now i'm going to show you the super difficult instructions. :) Just kidding they are a breeze. You don't have to use a box cake mix you can use a cake recipe from scratch.

Alright here it goes, prepare yourself!

Ingredients:
1 Vanilla cake mix
1/4 cup red jimmies
1 can of vanilla icing (Or you can make your own)
1 jar of Raspberry preserves
heart sprinkles
cupcake cups

Directions:

Follow the directions on the back of the vanilla cake mix, add the red jimmies and stir until combined. Using an ice cream scooper, fill the scoop with cupcake mix and dump it in the cupcake cups. Follow the baking instructions on the box for a muffin tin. When done let them cool on a wire rack.

1. Using a small knife, carve a hole in the top of a cupcake going in at an angle (Just like carving a pumpkin) and then carve a little more out of the center, Shave the point of of the top of the cupcake topper.. 2. Scoop out 1/2 tablespoons of jam and spoon it into the cupcake,3.Put the tops back on.
4. Ice the cupcake and sprinkle it with the sprinkles an WALLA!!

They were so good.

ENJOY
