Strawberry and Cream Cupcakes Are A Party Dessert

We love using our vanilla cupcake base that always turns out extra moist and light, and then you fill with the strawberries and cream filling, and top with frosting and a strawberry for presentation! Delicate, light, and trust us too good not to make for yourself! These cupcakes offer an easy strawberry filling for cupcakes. It is a fresh diced strawberries and some of the whipped frosting.

Strawberries And Cream Cupcakes Recipe

First off let us say you do not have to make your cupcakes homemade. If you like to cut a few corners grab a white cake mix, it will work just the same! We just like the flavor a homemade cupcake offers, but again it is totally up to you! You can also doctor up the cake mix to give you that bakery style as well, which we have done in the past. You can also opt out of the filling, we just love the extra flavors it adds to the cupcake!

How To Make Strawberry And Cream Cupcakes

Ingredients

Makes 24 cupcakes

• 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup butter softened
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tbs vanilla
• 3/4 cup diced strawberries, (For Filling)
• 1/4 tsp salt

Ingredients For The Frosting

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 4 tbs vanilla pudding mix
• 4 tbs granulated sugar

Equipment

• Wilton Non-Stick Bakeware Muffin and Cupcake Pan

Method

1. Start by pre-heating your oven to 350 degrees. Then add liners to your cupcake tin.
2. In a bowl add your flour, baking soda, and salt, and set aside.
3. In a stand mixer add in your softened butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy (around 2 minutes). Then add eggs one at a time and beat until well incorporated, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. Next start incorporating a little of the flour mixture followed by a little of the milk. Do this rotation until all the flour and milk are mixed into the batter.
5. Divide the batter into the cupcake molds, we do around 3/4 full for each cupcake. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean. Set on the cooling rack and allow to cool while you make the frosting.
6. For the frosting, you want to mix the heavy cream, sugar, and pudding mix until it forms soft peaks.
7. For the filling, you want to cut out a piece of the center of the cupcake, and add in a little of the frosting and then top with strawberries. Then frost like you normally would.. Then go on to frost the entire cupcake like normal.
8. You can add a whole strawberry on top for presentation or even top with a few of your diced strawberries. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
