Instructions
Cupcakes
- Combine all cupcake ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix with a hand mixer on low for 1 minute. Mix on medium for 2 minutes.
- Line 24 cupcake wells with liners or grease very well.
- Divide the batter evenly between the wells.
- Bake according to box directions.
Fresh Strawberry Frosting
- Puree fresh strawberries in a food processor until smooth *see notes for freeze-dried strawberries. Place in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat and simmer until reduced to ⅓ cup (approximately 15 minutes) while stirring. Cool completely.
- Cream butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar with a hand mixer until fluffy. Add the cooled strawberry puree and mix well.
- Add powdered sugar a bit at a time until the frosting is thick and fluffy. If the mixture is too thick, heavy cream can be added 1 tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
- Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
Notes
- To Make Frosting With Freeze-Dried Strawberries, substitute fresh berries with 1 cup freeze dried strawberries. Pulse the dried strawberries in a food processor to form a powder and add to the butter mixture in place of the strawberry puree.
- Ensure cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting.
- Ensure the puree is completely cooled before adding to the frosting.
