Ingredients
For the cupcakes

110g unsalted butter
200g caster sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. raspberry essence
210g plain flour
40g cocoa powder
1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp. salt
125ml milk
125ml warm water
30ml vodka

For the raspberry filling
125ml raspberry jam
1 1/2 tsp. vodka

For the chocolate icing
110g unsalted butter
60g cocoa powder
375g icing sugar
75ml milk
1 tsp. vanilla esssence

Method
For the cupcakes:

1) Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/Gas Mark 4. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add remaining ingredients (with hot water and vodka set aside). Beat with electric mixer for 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of mixing bowl with rubber spatula making sure to incorporate all ingredients. Add warm water and vodka slowly while mixing for one more minute or until smooth.
2) Line a 12 cup cupcake or muffin tin 3/4-full with batter. Bake until the cupcakes are puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.

For the raspberry filling:
Mix raspberry jam and vodka to an even consistency. (Add more vodka if desired)

For the chocolate icing:
Melt butter and stir in cocoa in a mixing bowl. Alternately add icing sugar and milk, beating on medium speed to spreading consistency. Add more milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla essence.

To assemble:
Core the cupcakes and add raspberry filling to top. Fill a pastry bag with chocolate icing and cut 1 1/4cm off the tip. Generously ice the cupcakes and garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.

I'm ordering in the vodka. I'm very interested to see how it works in cake batter. That's my excuse, anyway... I'll report back.
