White chocolate and raspberry cupcakes made with a moist white chocolate cake filled with raspberry filling and topped with white chocolate buttercream and raspberry syrup.
These are heavenly white chocolate cupcakes!
You may have noticed I love raspberry cupcakes because I also have a raspberry cupcake recipe with raspberry buttercream and a ruby slipper cupcake recipe with raspberry Jell-O baked in the center and topped with whipped cream.
Both are so good I couldn’t resist doing a white chocolate cupcake with raspberry filling.

How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes
Raspberry Syrup
- Make this first so that it has time to cool while making the cupcakes and frosting.
- Add 1 cup of Torani raspberry syrup to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Quickly bring to a boil while constantly whisking.
- Add cornstarch and continue to whisk until it thickens, then remove from the heat. Allow to fully cool in the refrigerator before drizzling on top of the frosted cupcakes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
White Chocolate Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line muffin pans with 24 cupcake liners.
- In a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
- Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract.
- In a bowl, combine cold water and pudding mix. Add to the mixing bowl.
- Sift or whisk together the remaining dry ingredients to break up any lumps. Slowly add to the mixing bowl until well blended.
- Fill cupcake liners ⅔ full with batter. Do not overfill.
- Bake in the oven for 16-18 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Once done cooking, allow to cool before filling.
Filling
- Fill each cupcake with Solo raspberry cake filling.
- They can be filled with a filling icing tip or by cutting a small hole in the center of each cupcake, then replacing the top after it’s filled. Fill each cupcake just until you see the tops of the cupcakes slightly rise.
White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
- Break up the bar of white chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-60 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
- Blend butter and slowly add confectioners’ sugar to the bowl.
- Add melted white chocolate and 1-2 tablespoons of milk until the desired consistency.
- Frost cupcakes after each is filled with raspberry filling.
