The land has the sea. Women have men. Everything has a counterpart, because that’s how this world stays balanced. Naturally, when it comes to food, there has to be a yin and yang. In this recipe, sweet counters tart, and the dichotomy is de-licious! The pureness of vanilla softly tames the hit of tart, fresh raspberries. All the fluffy, gooey muffin stuff surrounding them is just a nice bonus.
