Instructions
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
Make the Cupcake Batter:
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Stir in wasabi paste until evenly distributed.
Prepare Raspberry Filling:
In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens. Strain to remove seeds, reserving both seeds and puree.
Assemble Cupcakes:
Fill each cupcake liner about halfway with batter. Add a teaspoon of raspberry filling, then cover with more batter until each liner is 3/4 full.
Bake the Cupcakes:
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.
Make the Frosting:
Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then milk, raspberry puree, and wasabi paste. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
Decorate Cupcakes:
Once cupcakes are cool, frost them with the wasabi raspberry frosting. You can use a piping bag for a more decorative look.
The Wasabi & Raspberry Cupcake Surprise is a delightful contradiction in every bite. The subtle heat of wasabi is beautifully balanced by the sweet, tart raspberries, creating a unique flavor profile. The frosting adds a creamy, luxurious finish, making these cupcakes not just a dessert but a statement piece at any gathering. They're perfect for adventurous eaters or anyone looking to add a little spice to their sweet treats! 🧁🔥🌹
