Raspberry Chocolate Lava Cupcakes Recipe
These indulgent cupcakes feature a rich, molten chocolate center paired with the tangy sweetness of fresh raspberries. Perfect for special occasions or when you want to impress guests. The soft chocolate cake hides a gooey, lava-like surprise in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 12 fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar for dusting optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Melt chocolate chips and butter together until smooth.
- Whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
- Stir in flour and salt until just mixed.
- Fill each liner halfway with batter, place a raspberry in the center, then cover with more batter.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are set but centers are slightly soft.
- Cool slightly before serving; dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- For extra richness, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
- Serve warm for the best molten center.
- You can substitute frozen raspberries but thaw and pat dry first.
