I just noticed, you even typed the "a" in "Haagen-Dazs" with the appropriate "two dots" on top. Talk about attention to details.

no secret, here's the recipe (i wrote the recipe after making it, so remember to use your best judgement on how much strawberry sauce to add to both the cake mixture and frosting):

strawberry cupcakes

ingredients

cupcakes:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup strawberry sauce
1/4 cup milk

strawberry sauce:
2 cups of fresh strawberries, cut in half and stem removed
sugar to taste

cream cheese frosting:
8 ounces or 1 package of cream cheese
1/2 stick butter
4 cups sifted powdered sugar
approximately 1/4 cup of strawberry sauce

instructions

cupcakes:
Beat butter on high until soft, about 30 seconds. Add sugar. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beat for 30 seconds between each. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Measure out milk and strawberry sauce together. Add about a fourth of the flour to the butter/sugar mixture and beat to combine. Add about one third the milk/strawberry sauce mixture and beat until combined. Repeat above, alternating flour and milk and ending with the flour mixture. Scoop into cupcake papers about half to three-quarters full (depending on whether you want flat or domed cupcakes). Bake for 20-22 minutes at 350F until a cake tester comes out clean.

strawberry sauce:
Macerate strawberries with about 1-2 tbs sugar for 15 minutes. Put strawberries in a small saucepan and heat under medium heat with lid on. Cook strawberries for approximately 15 minutes till strawberries cook down and become soft and saucy. Adjust sweetness with sugar until you get the desired sweetness. Using a hand blender, puree until you get the desired smoothness or chunkiness. Cool before using in recipe.

cream cheese frosting:
Bring cheese and butter to room temperature by letting it sit out for 1 or 2 hours. Sift powdered sugar into a bowl. Beat butter and cheese at medium speed until creamy. Add half of the sugar, beat until combined. Add strawberry sauce until you achieve the right color and flavor, making sure not to add too much or the frosting will be too soft. Gradually add remaining sugar (more if you have to) until you get to the consistency and sweetness you like.

derived from standard cake/frosting recipe from chockylit / magnolia bakery, strawberry sauce recipe courtesy of burlie :)

ps. i also made one with chocolate sprinkles.. omg what a combination!

I just made these yesterday for my niece's graduation. They were wonderful!! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Posted 43 months ago. ( permalink )

Swirl [deleted] says:

The adults actually enjoyed these more than the kids (I think because they're more muffin-like than cakey):

I had lots of leftover frosting so I used it to frost the birthday cake we had for our family celebration (chocolate and strawberry is a great combo):

rasberryco says:

These are the BEST--the frosting is too die for. I made it into a cake, and since I had extra strawberry sauce I divided the cake into layers and added the sauce in the middle and frosted the entire cake. It's outrageous. Thanks for sharing!

I tried making these cupcakes without the strawberry, I recipe I got from chockylit and they definitely are not as pretty! I saw them rising in the oven but then they just started sinking! Followed the recipe exactly yet I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Great photo btw.

SpeedM,

your cupcake looks absolutely stunning! I came across this website from yahoo when I was in desperate search on "how to make a strawberry cupcake" for my baby Juliette's 1st birthday. It will be a princess theme so I figure strawberry cupcakes would be perfect compliment. I have never made cupcakes, this will be my first time. I figure how hard can it be to bake right? Knowing me, I should stay out of the kitchen but I want to do this for my baby. it will be extra special but my question to you is how do you make your strawberry toppings swirl? it doesn't look like you took a spatula or a butter knife and smoothed the topping over. How do you do that to make it so professional looking? Please e-mail me at mybabyjewels@gmail.com or post here. I would love to hear back from you. Thank you so much. Your pictures are amazing. Not only are you a great photographer, you cook as well?? artisti/chef WHAT A COMBO! keep up the great work! Thank you.

Jeannie
