1½ tsp (7 ml) baking powder
⅛ tsp (.5 ml) salt
¼ cup (60 ml) butter, melted
½ cup (125 ml) milk
1 egg
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
2 tbsp (30 ml) freeze-dried raspberries (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, milk, egg and vanilla. Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and mix until just combined (do not over mix). Gently fold in the freeze-dried raspberries (if using).
Grease wells of Muffin Pan or Mini Muffin Pan with butter or line with paper liners. Scoop batter amongst wells and place a raspberry or two in the middle.
Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Invert and let cool completely.
For the topping, beat the ingredients until smooth, spread or pipe on to cooled cupcakes, top with additional raspberries, if desired.
