Cinnamon Raspberry Hazelnut Coffee Cupcakes
I've recently developed an affinity towards hazelnut coffee with just a healthy dose of milk and cream...per someone's obsession and influence. I then thought of the great idea of putting coffee in my favorite: cupcakes and the idea just kept getting more and more elaborate and delicious. On a last minute whim, I added the raspberries, what a perfect contrast in both color and flavor!
