1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper muffin cases. Tip the first 8 ingredients into a large bowl and beat with electric whisk until smooth. Fold the crushed raspberries through the batter.
2. Divide the batter between the cases (they should be about half full) and bake for 20-25 mins or until golden and just firm. Make the topping by mixing together the orange juice and sugar until well blended.
3. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool a little. Drizzle each with the orange and sugar crust mix. Top with the extra raspberries to serve.

  Delicious! - I halved the recipe which made 12... I left out the sugar crust and followed the rest of the recipe. The only thing I would change is to leave out the raspberries because I did'nt like the mushy texture... Overall the cakes were lovely, light and moist - I will def' make them again but with blueberries

  Tasty recipe. I did half portions but kept 50g almonds and 3 tblsp milk and 2 tsp baking powder. This meant the cupcakes were very almondy and moist and were delicious. I also blizted the raspberries in a handblender which made them pink which my little boy liked!

  Lovely soft texture.We all enjoyed the fruit flavours. I added a few redcurrants to the mixture which gave an added zing and stopped them being overly sweet. Will definitely make again and will try out some other flavour combinations.

  I made these and took them to work...they were gobbled up really quickly. I tripled the mixture and found that you really only need a small quantity of orange zest, as otherwise it overpowers the raspberry. But the cupcakes were still SO good...the first batch didn't last ten minutes out of the oven (hence the tripled mixture).

  I make basic cupcakes all the time, but fancied a change so tried this recipe. Well worth it - these are really special. This recipe made loads and loads - not a problem as they were so popular, but I would probably halve the quantities next time.

  Delicious but...in the photo you can see the sign of raspberries inside the cakes too. Was some added to the batter as well in the original recipe. Not a criticism, I love them as is, just curious....RG
