Vanilla Raspberry Cupcakes

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

For some reason I wanted to make a cupcake that I could fill with something. Maybe because Mr. Squirrel's Mom had given me a tool with which cutting out the core of a cupcake was supposed to be really easy and I had never tried it. [A photo of this legendary tool will follow. I could just steal someone else's picture from the internet, but stealing pictures is not cool!] Vanilla cupcakes seemed like a good combination for raspberries, so I made raspberry jam-filled vanilla cupcakes with whipped cream (vegan, duh!) for my goodbye cake fest at my old job.

Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream and Strawberries

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unterhalb des englischen Rezepts.

The strawberry season is here and we decided two kilos of strawberries were a good way to start! Apart from eating the just like that and putting them in my overnight oats, we knew we had to use them in more ways. Cupcakes seemed like a great option!
