Ingredients

12 servings

•

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
•

0.25 cup Dutch-process dark chocolate cocoa powder
•

1.5 teaspoons baking powder
•

0.66666668653488 cup white sugar
•

0.5 cup whole milk
•

0.5 cup vegetable oil
•

2 large eggs, at room temperature

•

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•

0.5 cup seedless raspberry preserves
•

1.5 cups powdered sugar
•

0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
•

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•

1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Sift flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together in a bowl. Whisk sugar, milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract together in another bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to sugar mixture, whisking until combined. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Place raspberry preserves into a pastry bag fitted with a round tip. Insert the tip into each cupcake and squeeze about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each.
Beat powdered sugar and butter for frosting together using a hand-held electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Beat in vanilla extract. If frosting seems too dry, add milk to reach desired consistency. Frost cooled, filled cupcakes.
