- 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box white cake mix (recommended Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe)
- 1 1⁄3 cups water
- 3 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons almond extract

directions
- Line 18 muffin cups with muffin papers. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cake mix, water, egg whites, melted butter, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a large bowl for 2 minutes, or until the batter is well blended. Using about 1/3 cup of batter for each cupcake, spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake the cupcakes until they are very pale golden on top, about 15 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely on a cooling rack.
- Using a fork, coarsely mash 1 1/2 containers of raspberries in a medium bowl. Beat the cream and 1/3 cup of powdered sugar in a large bowl until firm peaks form. Fold the mashed raspberries into the whipped cream.
- Remove the muffin papers from the cupcakes and cut the tops off of each cupcake. Spoon the raspberry whipped cream atop the cupcake bottoms. Place the cupcake tops on the cupcakes. Dust with more powdered sugar and serve with the remaining berries.

These are amazing!! They are so light and really perfect for summer. I initially had a problem with the filling as it would not thicken up, after adding a good bit of powdered sugar I decided to add some all purpose flour and it worked perfectly. Love, love, love them, I will definitely be making these again!

These were an incredible hit with everyone from twelve to eighty-four years old. I used Almost Cake Mix Vanilla Cupcakes recipe #120667 rather than the boxed mix, then proceeded with the recipe once the cupcakes were baked. I used both raspberry and blueberry versions as they were both available fresh. If you're looking for an impressive but informal dessert give this one a try.

I love this recipe. The cupcakes were very moist, and the filling was light and not to mention very easy. Food purists may be put off by the box mix… I say whatever, it really is convenient and does not matter. I also had some black berries on hand and used those for the cream. YUMMY!! Giada is genius!
