Cooking instruction summary:

Heat oven to 375F. Line a cupcake tin with paper liners and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and vanilla. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Lower mixer to medium speed and add in the whole egg. Then increase the speed back to medium-high for 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Turn the mixer back down to medium speed and add in the yolks. Then turn the mixer back up to medium-high and beat for 20 seconds. Scrape down the bowl again. Remove stand mixer bowl from the mixer and fold in the dry ingredients in 4 additions, alternating with the buttermilk-vanilla mixture. Mix until just combined. Scoop the batter into the paper-lined cupcake tin, about cup in each cup. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing the cupcakes from their tin. Allow to cool completely. Whisk 38 g of the sugar with the egg yolks. Set aside. Combine the remaining 38 g of sugar with the milk in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Allow the sugar to dissolve. Once the milk mixture is just about to come to a simmer, remove it from the heat and combine it with the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the pan and place it over medium heat. Whisking constantly, bring it to a simmer and allow it to cook for 1 minute or until thickened. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk for 8 minutes on high speed, or until cool. Add the butter a few pieces at a time to the egg yolk mixture. Mix on high speed until it thickens and comes together. If it is too loose, then put in the fridge for 30 minutes and beat again. Add in the raspberry powder and fold it in by hand. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with the Wilton 1M tip and pipe swirls onto the cupcakes.

Food Trivia

Before the Columbian Exchange, there were no oranges in Florida, no bananas in Ecuador, no potatoes in Ireland, no coffee in Colombia, no pineapples in Hawaii, no rubber trees in Africa, no tomatoes in Italy, and no chocolate in Switzerland.

Food Joke

The car crash Rabbi Bloom and Father Michael get into a car accident and it`s a bad one. Both cars are crushed but amazingly neither of the clerics is hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, Rabbi Bloom sees the priest`s collar and says, "Just look at our cars - there`s nothing left, but we`re unhurt. You`re a priest and I`m a rabbi so it must be a sign from God. He must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days." Father Michael replies, "I agree with you completely. This truly must be a sign from God." Rabbi Bloom then says, "Look - here`s another miracle. Although my car is wrecked, this bottle of wine didn`t break. God must want us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." He hands the bottle to the priest. Father Michael takes a few big swigs and passes the bottle back to Rabbi Bloom who puts the cork back in and hands it back to the priest. Father Michael asks, "Aren`t you having any wine?" "No. I think I`ll just wait for the police," says Rabbi Bloom.
