2. Sift flour into bowl then add soft butter, sugar, beaten eggs, lemon zest and yogurt and beat well with an electric beater for about 3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
3. Fold in raspberries, slightly crushing them to release the colour and flavour.
4. Spoon the mixture into the cup cake papers filling to about level. Bake for 12-18 minutes or until coloured and they spring back when lightly pressed in the center. Allow to cool completely before decorating.
