Chocolate Cupcakes with Raspberry Whipped Cream Frosting

Hello there! Today, I decided to break in my new apron from my fiancee and bake some cupcakes! I went for a basic chocolate cupcake base with a whipped cream frosting with raspberry puree mixed in. I used a simple chocolate cake recipe from the Cupcake Project, with chocolate chips for some extra chocolate-y goodness. The proportions for the frosting were also from Cupcake Project, a modified version of the strawberry whipped cream frosting.

The baking process was clearly a success! Don't those look good? I forget to take pictures as I bake--instead I get carried away with the fun part. And then the cleanup.

Awesome apron from Questionable Content.
