Step 1
How to make a classic raisin cupcake? Prepare your food. Take them out of the refrigerator in advance so they come to room temperature, this is the first secret to a successful cupcake. Choose high-quality, natural butter, without milk fat substitutes, that complies with GOST.

Choose small, seedless raisins for the cupcake. First, rinse it thoroughly with warm water, removing debris and brushes. Then pour boiling water over the raisins and leave for half an hour. After time has passed, drain the water and place the raisins on a paper towel to remove excess liquid.
