Raspberry Vanilla Cream Cheese Cupcakes. Moist, tender vanilla cupcakes filled with raspberry compote and topped with rich, luscious cream cheese frosting.

I don’t really make a lot of cupcakes but I’m beginning to warm to the idea of filled cupcakes and these Raspberry Vanilla Cream Cheese Cupcakes would change anyone’s mind.

With some leftover raspberry compote and a little leftover cream cheese frosting in the fridge too, I decided to combine two of my favourite dessert components into these sinfully delicious little treats.

  • When adding dry and wet ingredients alternately in any baking recipe, always begin and end with the dry ingredients.
  • Pour batter evenly into paper lined muffin pans.
  • Bake in a 325 degree F oven for about 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Watch them carefully, you will not want to over bake these cupcakes, as soon as the toothpick comes out clean, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack once you have removed them from the pan.
