So I have all these incredible Black Raspberries that my daughter picked out of my papaw's garden... and I have a Daddy that loves chocolate cake and has his 60th birthday this weekend... so I had to come up with a Chocolate Raspberry Cupcake for the party.
I looked online but couldn't find anything that seemed just right so I modified a Chocolate Cherry Cupcake recipe that I love. And here it is:
Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes

1) Preheat oven to 350F.
2) Line muffin pan with paper liners.
3) In a small bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
4) In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and oil. Mix in raspberries and vanilla. Alternately whisk in flour mixture and puree, making three additions of flour mixture and two of puree, beating until batter is smooth. Mix in chocolate chips and vinegar.
5) Scoop batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes or until tops of cupcakes spring back when lightly touched. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack. Top cooled cupcakes with frosting.

Chocolate Raspberry Frosting

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted
1 Tsp vanilla
3 cups confectioners sugar
3 Tsp raspberry puree

Directions:
1) In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir on cocoa and vanilla. Gradually add confectioners sugar. Beat well (it is extremely thick). Beat in puree and milk a teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved.

Now while they were really good, there was an issue with seeds. Next time I make them, I think I'll try using all raspberry puree instead of part puree and part whole raspberries. But we'll see.
