Stuffed Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes Recipes

REAL STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray cupcake cups with cooking spray, or line with cupcake liners.
• Place 8 strawberries into a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour the puree through a strainer to remove seeds. Puree should equal about 3/4 cup. Set the puree aside.
• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, white sugar, vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, lemon zest, and strawberry puree until well combined. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla pudding mix (for a moister cupcake), and red food coloring to reach a desired shade of pink. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cupcakes have risen and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 23 minutes. Allow the cupcakes to cool at least 10 minutes before frosting.
• To make frosting, beat cream cheese and butter together in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, and mix in confectioners' sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to make a lump-free icing. Frost each cupcake with about 2 tablespoons of icing, and top each cupcake with a strawberry slice.

STRAWBERRY-LIME STUFFED CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• In another medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light and foamy, about 2 minutes. While beating, gradually pour in the butter and then the vanilla.
• While mixing slowly, add half the dry ingredients, then add all the milk, and follow with the rest of the dry ingredients. Take care not to over mix the batter. Divide the batter evenly in the prepared tin.
• Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a rack in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove. Cool on the rack completely.
• For icing: Mix the confectioners' sugar and lime zest in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice and mix with an electric mixer to make a firm but pourable icing. (If needed, add up to 1 teaspoon more juice, but take care if the icing is too loose it doesn't set properly.) Add food color to make a pale pastel green icing.
• To assemble: Remove cupcake from its liner. Cut and remove a strawberry (coned) shaped portion of cupcake from the top of each cupcake, leaving about 1/2 to 1-inch of cake in the bottom. Stuff each cake with a strawberry and cover with a little bit of cake. Spoon and spread icing over the top of the cupcakes. Sprinkle with green sanding sugar. Top with small mint leaves or candied leaves.

STUFFED FRESH STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Prepare cake batter and bake as directed on package for 24 cupcakes; cool completely.
• Meanwhile, whisk cream cheese in medium bowl until creamy. Beat pudding mix and milk in separate bowl with whisk 2 min. Gradually add to cream cheese, mixing well after each addition. Stir in COOL WHIP. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Cut 12 strawberries in half; slice remaining strawberries. Use serrated knife to cut tops off cupcakes. Spread 1 Tbsp. pudding mixture onto bottom portion of each cupcake. Cover with sliced strawberries, cupcake tops and remaining pudding mixture.
• Garnish with strawberry halves and sifted powdered sugar just before serving.

REALLY REAL STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line muffin tins with 20 cupcake liners (for mini cupcakes, line 72 mini muffin tins).
• Grind strawberries into a fine powder using a coffee grinder or food processor. Whisk strawberry powder, all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in vanilla extract.
• Stir flour mixture, alternately with the milk, into butter mixture until just incorporated. Fill lined tins with cupcake batter.
• Bake in preheated oven until cupcakes spring back when gently touched with a fingertip or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes for regular cupcakes, 8 to 10 minutes for mini cupcakes.

VANILLA STUFFED STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• In 3-quart heavy saucepan, stir together milk, sugar, flour and egg yolks with whisk. Cook over medium heat 10 to 12 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Transfer to bowl; press plastic wrap on surface of custard. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
• Heat oven to 325°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. In large bowl, beat cake mix and water with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 1 minute. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling completely full.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and cracks in tops of cupcakes appear dry. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Scoop out centers of cupcakes, leaving 1/2-inch border on bottom and side. Spoon or pipe custard into centers of cupcakes. Top each with strawberry half. Store covered in refrigerator.

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake cases. Mix the flour and sugar together in a large bowl. In a large jug, whisk together the eggs, yogurt and melted butter. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry until you have a smooth batter, then fold in the strawberries.
• Fill the prepared cases so they are about three-fourths full. Bake for 25-30 mins, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the middles comes out clean. Leave to cool.
• Meanwhile, make the icing. Beat the sugar and butter together until smooth and pale, then add the milk, vanilla and a little pink food colouring and beat until the icing is an even pale pink shade. Spoon the icing into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle, then pipe in swirls onto the cooled cupcakes. Decorate each with a strawberry half or small strawberry, then serve.

SPECIAL STUFFED STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Place cupcake liners in muffin pan cups.
• Cupcakes: Prepare cake batter as directed on back of cake mix box. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one cupcake comes out clean. Allow to cool for one hour. With an apple corer or melon baller, scoop out the center of each cupcake, discarding the cake scraps--or snack on if desired. :)
• Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, whip together strawberry frosting and cool whip with an electric mixer until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl to thoroughly combine.
• Stuffing: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the frosting mixture and 1/4 cup of finely chopped strawberries. Place the mixture into a piping bag with the largest circular tip or simply snip the end of the bag. Pipe into the center hole of each cupcake.
• Per your preference, either pipe or spread the frosting generously atop each cupcake. Garnish each cupcake with sliced strawberries. Reserve 3-4 of the largest strawberries to fan and garnish the serving platter.
• Refrigerate cupcakes until ready to serve.
• Enjoy!
