Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups cake flour
- 1 cup finely diced strawberries
- 1/4 cup pink sprinkles
Frosting
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons milk
- pink gel paste color

Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cupcake papers in the cupcake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, add in the butter, sugar and oil. Mix until light and fluffy. This will take about 2 minutes.
- Add in the room temperature eggs one at a time and mix until combined. Once they are mixed in, turn the hand mixer to high and beat for another 3 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and very pale. This is crucial otherwise the cake will fall.
- Measure out the milk and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- Measure out the cake flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Add a third of the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Beat just until combined.
- Add half of the milk and beat until just combined.
- Repeat adding another third of the flour then the rest of the milk. Finish with the last bit of flour.
- Add the strawberries and sprinkles. Stir until just incorporated.
- Scoop out the batter and place in the cupcake liners. Only fill about ⅔ full. Don’t overfill the liners, they batter will run out.
- Place in the oven and bake for 17 minutes or until done. Place a toothpick in the center of the cupcakes and if it comes out clean or with moist crumbs it’s done. If there’s still batter, give it another minute or two.
- Remove from the oven and let cool.
Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter. Mix until the butter is creamy.
- Add in the vanilla extract, milk, and powdered sugar. Mix on low until the powdered sugar is almost completely incorporated.
- Turn mixer on high and beat for about 1 to 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Scoop out about 1/4 of the frosting. Add in the electric purple and electric pink. Mix until combined. Add gel paste until you have your desired color.
- Place a 1M piping tip into a disposable piping bag. Line one crease of the piping back with the deep pink gel food color.
- Fill 1/2 of the bag with the white frosting. Add a layer of the electric purple/pink frosting. Add in the rest of the white frosting or whatever will fit. Pipe nice tall swirls on each cupcake.
- Top with a pink gumball.
