Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Then add lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- Mix the sour cream and milk into the wet batter, then gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Gently toss the fresh raspberries in flour before folding them into the batter.
- Spoon the cupcake batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each liner about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in raspberry puree and lemon juice.
- Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them generously and garnish with fresh raspberries and lemon zest.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and a fluffier cupcake. Do not skip the sour cream for moisture and avoid overmixing the batter.
