Ingredients
Strawberry Cupcakes
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Strawberry Puree
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Strawberry Cream Cheese Icing
- 2 oz. cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons Strawberry Puree
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Make the Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place six cupcake liners in a cupcake pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil and granulated sugar.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract and strawberry puree. Whisk until all the wet ingredients are combined.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk.
- Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, and stir until just combined.
- Measure 3 tablespoons of the batter into each cupcake liner.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. (Keep an eye on these because if they overbake, they will become tough.)
- Allow 30 minutes to cool before icing.
Make the Frosting
- While the cupcakes are baking, beat the cream cheese and strawberry puree together in a large bowl with a hand mixer.
- When the strawberry cream cheese is mixed, add the powered sugar. Use the hand mixer to incorporate the powdered sugar into the icing.
- When the icing is smooth, chill in the refrigerator until icing the cupcakes. You can transfer the icing to a piping bag, or you can simply dollop it onto the cupcakes.
Then ice the cupcakes and enjoy!
Notes
- Recipe adapted One Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes for Two from How Sweet It Is.
- Substitutions:
- If you don't have coconut oil on hand, you can use another unflavored (or lightly flavored) oil like canola or vegetable oil. You can also use unsalted butter.
- The strawberry puree can be made with fresh or frozen strawberries. Simply throw a handful of strawberries (that have the stems removed) into a blender or food processor.
