How to make lemon cupcakes with raspberry filling: tips and tricks
- You don’t have to defrost frozen raspberries. You can also use fresh raspberries instead of frozen ones.
- Instead of raspberries, you can make the cupcakes with other berries, such as strawberries, sour cherries or black currants. Both fresh and frozen fruits will work. Frozen berries do not need to be thawed beforehand.
- You can replace kefir with natural yogurt.
- Since the dough contains a lot of acid (lemon juice, kefir), the baking soda and the baking powder ensure that the muffins rise well during baking. So you should not omit the baking soda.
- You must not stir the dough too long after adding flour, or your cupcakes may taste rubbery.
- Use a wooden skewer to check if the muffins are done baking.
- Cream and sour cream for the cream must be cold before whipping.
