Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, followed by almond extract and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Heat the raspberry preserves over low heat until smooth and warm.
  10. Once cooled, use a knife or cupcake corer to hollow out the center of each cupcake.
  11. Fill each hollow with the warmed raspberry preserves.
  12. Frost each cupcake with buttercream and optional fresh raspberries.
