This was wonderful. I of course made a few changes. I added 1/4 cup of raspberry puree to the batter and I still feel it could have used more. I used heavy cream instead of milk. For the frosting
3 sticks unsalted butter at room temp
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 - 3 c powdered sugar
pour champagne in until the consistency and flavor you want.

This was the only way to taste the champagne and the other way was waaaayyyy too sweet. I think I ended up using close to 1/2 cup of champagne. This is the buttercream recipe I usually use, but instead of champagne I use whatever extract I feel like and use heavy cream to thin it and make it creamier.

EVERYONE loved them. I made them yesterday and they are gone already. Some very picky people ate these and went back for more. I made a little raspberry puree to drizzle over them too.
I can see how some would think they are more muffiny than cupcakey, it is a very dense cake, but it is still moist.

This recipe sounded yummy, but turned out bland and an awkward consistency. I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out like muffins (NOT cupcakes. Try making them like normal cupcakes....mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, then slowly combine the dry with the wet.

it was very good. here i some notes i made for myself for next time:
Batter:
1 - more raspberry extract - flavor was very light
2 - maybe chunks of raspberries (1/4 along with the puree
3 - more raspberry puree (3-4 tablespoons maybe

Frosting:
1 - cut the recipe in half! too much!
2 - skip the champagne and save $10 you can hardly taste it. use raspberry extract instead
3 - i also added red food coloring to the fosting to make it pink

Very good cupcake! I had way too much frosting left over. Next time I will cut the frosting in half and maybe add a little raspberry to give it more flavor. Was a total hit with my family.

I actually don't like raspberries and really liked these cupcakes. Warning: The batter is extremely thin, but the cake turns out fine. Just wanted to give a heads up for those that may be concerned about the batter not being thick enough.
