Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar: Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
- Add white chocolate: Blend in melted white chocolate until smooth.
- Combine: Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in raspberries: Gently fold in raspberries to avoid breaking them.
- Fill and bake: Divide batter evenly among liners. Bake 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

- Make buttercream: Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, melted white chocolate, cream, and salt. Beat until fluffy.
- Frost cooled cupcakes and garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.
Notes
Ensure white chocolate is cooled but still pourable before mixing into batter or frosting. Toss raspberries lightly in flour before folding in to prevent sinking. Always frost completely cooled cupcakes for best results.
