Raspberry Cream Cupcakes
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
1 (18.25-ounce) box white cake mix (recommended: Duncan Hines Moist
Deluxe)
1 1/3 cups water
3 large eggs whites
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 (6-ounce) containers fresh raspberries, cut in half or 1 (16-ounce) container fresh strawberries,
coarsely chopped
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar, plus additional for dusting

Instructions
Line 18 muffin cups with muffin papers. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
F.

Using an electric mixer, beat the cake mix, water, egg whites, melted butter, almond extract, and
vanilla extract in a large bowl for 2 minutes, or until the batter is well blended. Using about 1/3
cup of batter for each cupcake, spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Bake the cupcakes until they are very pale golden on top, about 15 minutes. Cool the cupcakes
completely on a cooling rack.

Using a fork, coarsely mash 1 1/2 containers of raspberries in a medium bowl. Beat the cream and 1/3
cup of powdered sugar in a large bowl until firm peaks form. Fold the mashed raspberries into the
whipped cream.

Remove the muffin papers from the cupcakes and cut the tops off of each cupcake. Spoon the raspberry
whipped cream atop the cupcake bottoms. Place the cupcake tops on the cupcakes. Dust with more
powdered sugar and serve with the remaining berries.
