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
Directions
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.

I don't like box mixes and I honestly believe it's not that much trouble to make cake from scratch, but I did love the concept of the raspberry whipped cream and I use it with homemade chocolate cupcakes (the recipe on the back of the Hershey's box is beyond easy...the pink cream against the dark chocolate is gorgeous and I garnish the plate with fresh raspberries and mint leaves.

I couldn't find the Duncan Hines "Moist Deluxe" White Cake Mix, so I used the Duncan Hines Classic White Cake Mix and the cupcakes came out good. Maybe a little on the dry side, but I think that will not be an issue with the Moist Deluxe cake mix, which I hope to find for next time! Overall they were tasty and light :
