more raspberry cupcakes with chocolate frosting

i made my raspberry cupcakes again. instead of lemon cream cheese frosting i used my go to chocolate frosting which i've used for a wedding and a birthday. in case you've missed it, here it is again.  also i've updated the raspberry cupcake recipe.  i added a step of coating the raspberries with flour so the don't sink to the bottom.

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, soften
2 tbls milk
9 oz semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled to lukewarm
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups semisweet confectioner's sugar

to melt the chocolate, place in a double boiler over simmering water on low heat for about 5-10 minutes.  stir occasionally until completely smoother and no pieces of chocolate remain.  remove from heat and let cool for 5-15 minutes.

in a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy, about 3 minutes.  add the milk carefully and beat until smooth.  add the melted chocolate and beat well, about 2 minutes.  add the vanilla and beat for 3 minutes.  gradually add the sugar and beat on low speed until creamy and of desired consistency.

{new favorite technique is using a mini ice cream scooper to plop a dollop of frosting on each cake and then smooth with your favorite frosting knife.}
