I tried to find a good strawberry cupcake recipe and couldn't find one, so I finally came up with one of my own that everyone loves. This recipe is good and easy.

Step 2

Place 1/4 cup strawberries in syrup in a bowl; blend with an electric mixer until smooth. Add cake mix, vegetable oil, and milk; mix on low speed until well blended, about 2 minutes. Mix eggs, 1 at a time, into cake mix mixture, beating until each egg is fully incorporated into the batter before adding the next. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup.
Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Place cupcakes on a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4

Blend 2 tablespoons strawberries in syrup in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Beat cream cheese and butter into strawberries on low speed until smooth and creamy. Slowly beat confectioners' sugar into strawberry mixture on low speed until icing is smooth; add strawberry extract and beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Step 5

Spoon icing into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped. Pipe icing onto each cupcake. Top each cupcake with sliced strawberries.

Made it exactly as the recipe states and received RAVE reviews from my co-workers. Altered it when I made them again this time following the recipe but changing all things strawberry into all things Key Lime and my co-workers lost their minds with joy. This recipe rocks and I plan on trying blueberry peach and cherry cupcakes in the future! (The icing is amazing in and by itself.) Read More

I didn't have time to do the cheesecake filling though I will next time. The cake and the buttercream with fresh strawberries was delicious according to my husband. Read More

Made into a 2 layer cake & made half the recipe for the icing. There was plenty of icing to use as a filling & to do the outside of the cake. Next time if making a strawberry cake again I'd add more strawberries to it. I didn't have strawberry extract so used part vanilla & part strawberry juice. Different texture than a regular cake.

Recipe calls for an 18.25 ounce package of cake mix. I could only find a 15.25 ounce package which stated that it makes 24 cupcakes. So I used 15 25 ounces Using a 1/4 measuring cup to fill I only got 18 cupcakes and not 24. I could not actually blend the strawberries in syrup with my electric mixer. Probable should puree them in a blender. Overall they were moist but other than the strawberries on top of the icing there really was no strawberry taste to the cupcake. Probably need to add strawberry extract to the cake mixture and use more of the strawberries in syrup both in the cake mixture and the icing. I will try this recipe again using 18.25 ounces of the cake mix this time instead of 15.25 ounces and add more of the syrup strawberries and the strawberry extract. I will need to buy 2 15.25 ounces of the cake mix to be able to get the required 18.25 ounces. Read More
