Today my mom and I decided we were going to try to make cupcakes with chocolate raspberry jelly rings. After hours of trial and error we finally got it down (well kind of!) ;) As many ways as we tried.......when we put the jelly rings IN the cupcake batter they sank to the bottom when they were baked!!!! So we just decided to chop the jelly rings and sprinkle them on top of the cupcake! Maybe we'll try again another time but for now, these had a delicious raspberry taste! We did however come up with a delicious raspberry frosting from combining a few different recipes we found online.
1 box dark chocolate cake mix
2 sticks of butter (room temperature)
4 cups confectioners sugar
3 tablespoons (or to taste) of raspberry preserves/jam (seedless)
Make box cake as directed on back of box for 24 cupcakes.
For frosting: Mix butter and confectioners sugar untill well blended and creamy. Then add raspberry preserves and mix on high speed until light and fluffy.
For Topping: Finely chop jelly rings and sprinkle on top of your cupcakes.
Like I said...... we tried to get the jelly rings IN the cupcakes but we just had to improvise!! My husband (who loves jell rings) thought they were delicious!!
Enjoy!
