Ingredients
  

  • For the Cupcakes:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 fresh raspberries
  • For the Topping:
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream optional
  • Extra raspberries for garnish

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  3. Step 2: Melt the Chocolate and Butter
  4. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Step 3: Whisk the Eggs and Sugar
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  7. Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
  8. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Sift in the flour and salt, and mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  9. Step 5: Assemble the Cupcakes
  10. Spoon half the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Place one fresh raspberry in the center of each cupcake, then cover with the remaining batter.
  11. Step 6: Bake
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
  13. Step 7: Cool and Serve
  14. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them. Dust with powdered sugar and top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired. Garnish with extra raspberries.
