Instructions
- In the large mixing combine 1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla using an electric mixer. Add milk and continue mixing until well combined. Use a spatula to scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl.
- With the mixer running, slowly add remaining 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, mixing until well combined.
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.
- In a small non reactive mixing bowl stir until smooth the boiling hot water and the cocoa powder.
- Let cool to room temperature.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Then in the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Add the vanilla extract.
- Add the flour mixture and beat only until incorporated. Then add the cooled cocoa mixture and stir until smooth.
- Fill each muffin cup two-thirds full with batter and bake for about 16-20 minutes or until risen, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
- Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, frost it with lovely swirls of the vanilla frosting and top it with fresh raspberry, dusted with confectioners sugar.
