    Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes

    When I was little I absolutely hated dark chocolate. My Dad absolutely adored dark chocolate though, and once when he was eating some I asked to try some, and when I did I quickly spat it back out. To my immature taste buds it lacked the sweetness of the milk chocolate I loved, and seemed bitter. Luckily for Dad, as my brother didn't like it either, it meant his treat was never at risk of sneaky little fingers. Fast forward to now and I can't stand milk chocolate. It seems far too sweet and lacks the richness of flavour of dark chocolate that I now love. My favourite thing to do, after I've cleaned up from dinner is to sit down with a cup of tea and a square or two of dark chocolate. I savour each piece and love letting the chocolate slowly melt on my tongue. Simple pleasures! So, given my love of chocolate, when I'm wanting to bake a treat, more often than not, chocolate is going to be  involved. For this treat dark chocolate is paired with beautifully sweet and tart raspberries that I picked up the other day at a street stall. I know cupcakes are supposedly out of fashion, but I don't care. I think they are cute and there's always something so decadent about having a whole mini cake to yourself..or maybe even two 😉 So tell me, are you a milk, dark or white chocolate lover? Has that changed over the years?

      my wicked indulgence that I never have to share is marzipan. Can't understand why my husband and children hate it.

      Oh dark chocolate all the way:) The darker the better. Although, come to think of it, if it has 'chocolate' written on the label I will give (nearly) anything a go!

      I think kids just don't like bitter. You never hear about children liking the taste of coffee. I prefer dark chocolate but I still enjoy all chocolates at some point. The other night I had a lobster and white chocolate soup at a restaurant that was surprisingly delicious!

      I love milk AND dark chocolate - although always dark chocolate for baking. These cupcakes look delicious - I'd happily take two 🙂

      ARGH! When did cupcakes go out of fashion? I didn't get the memo!

      Until I do I'm going to continue to make and eat cupcakes. Starting with these - they look great!

        Apparently cupcakes are out and donuts are the new "thing". Just like clothing fashions, I don't really care what's in or out, I like what I like regardless of whether it's in fashion 😀

      Lovely! I wouldn't like to choose between milk and dark chocolate. I always buy dark, because I think it's easier to just have a couple of squares and then stop than with milk chocolate. It isn't any easier!

      Hi Jennifer, is there an ingredient missing by any chance? Just looking at the 3rd step and wondering about the "flour"... 🙂

      I changed from only milk chocolate to both milk and dark. But I've always LOVED the combination of raspberry and chocolate, it's one of my ultimate favorite combos! So these cupcakes? Are definitely calling me!

      I used to not like dark chocolate when I was young, but when I became a vegan I had to learn to love dark chocolate - and boy did it! I prefer the darker chocolates that have vanilla as it makes them smoother to eat though 🙂

      Lovely looking cupcakes! Chocolate and raspberry are two of my favourite sweet treats and anything that combines them is a winner to me!

      Cupcakes out of fashion? Never! I like milk and dark but I used to be like you when I was little. I'm not a fan of what chocolate though.

      I agree! When did cupcakes go out of fashion? Only to the hoity-toity food snobs surely! Cupcakes (or pattycakes as we called them when I was a kid) will always appeal to kids (little and not-so-little) from every generation. New combinations of flavours will always be welcomed! Like these! Yum.

      Lovely looking cupcakes! Two of my fave ingredients together.

      In our house the man likes dark choc, the daughter adores white choc, and I love luscious milk choc... it's very handy when we get a mixed box 'cos there's no arguing about who gets what!
