Chocolate Chip Raspberry Filled Cupcakes (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

I'm so excited about today's random food holiday.......Happy National Raspberry Cake Day!!!

In case you didn't notice, I made us all some cupcakes!!! This week was yet another blur that passed me without my permission. Why does this keep happening to me? Summer is about halfway gone.

I feel like I was constantly complaining about the seasonal differences of living in the Southern Hemisphere versus the Northern. It’s just hard to get used to bright sun and warm breezes replacing your Christmas snow, but I should have probably been more adult about it and stopped complaining, you know?

Since I've been here in Idaho I've loved getting to pick some of the garden raspberries that my aunt has out back. Hehe, I'm actually pretty sure that she planted them in hopes that they'd bring me back to the States. She knows I'm crazy about them!

I think I’ve mentioned a few times how much of a berry addict I am. I can happily be scarfing as many berries as I can fit in my mouth all summer long and then hoarding them like a squirrel in the Winter. It’s probably a certifiable condition but I think I can live with that. I’m serious about my berries.

Raspberries are my favorite though, and when you combine them with cake and chocolate you’ve got a sweet that would win over any reluctant heart, which makes them perfect for February. I used fresh raspberries to make a simple raspberry cream filling and then you mix some of the extra with your frosting. I also did two-sided frosting, which looks fancy and difficult, but it’s super easy. Okay, and did you guys know that chocolate chunks in a cupcake is a major win? Because it totally is! Like the kind of win that makes you never want to do differently. A life changing thing.

So, I’m moving this week so I'll be busy but then I've got a lot of catch up to do this weekend so I wanted to share these cupcakes first. I hope you all have plenty of time to make them for the people you love who love all things chocolate and sweet. Hope you all have a great week ahead!
