Raffaello Cupcakes Recipe

Raffaello cupcakes

Really simple, quick and delicious dessert idea, with ready cake mix. I call these Raffaello cupcakes. I love having ready cake mix stand by, in case I have any unexpected guests coming on short notice or when the kids ask for something sweet on an extremely busy day. For this specific recipe, I’d suggest using any white cake mix or any of your favorite homemade white cake recipe, simply add some white chocolate chips and coconut flakes and the cake will have slightly different taste and texture. And of course you’ll need to top it with white chocolate- coconut flavored frosting or cream, to resemble the delicious and decadent Raffaello chocolate taste, therefore the coconut extract will be the other important ingredient when making these Raffaello cupcakes.
Happy baking and enjoy!
