Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
• 1 packet of heavy cream
• 60 grams of melted and cooled unsalted butter
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1 packet of vanilla extract
• For the Raspberry Sauce:
  • A bowl of raspberries
  • 3 teaspoons of powdered sugar

1. Whisk Eggs and Sugar: Begin by using a mixer to beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add Liquid Ingredients: Mix in the lemon juice and heavy cream, continuing to beat the mixture.
3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract into the mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. Combine with Butter: Fold in the melted butter, ensuring it is fully incorporated into the batter.
5. Prepare Muffin Tins: Line a muffin tin with paper liners and fill each about two-thirds full with the batter. Press three to four raspberries into the top of each muffin.
6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and bake the muffins for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the tops are golden.
7. Make Raspberry Sauce: Mash the softened raspberries with powdered sugar until smooth.
8. Fill Muffins: Once cooled, use a knife to remove a small section from the center of each muffin and fill with the raspberry sauce.
9. Optional Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts over the filled muffins for extra crunch and flavor.
