Kid Pleasing Strawberry Cupcakes Recipes

STRAWBERRY CRUMBLE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine butter with 3/4 cup of brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Blend in eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and half-and-half.
• With a mixer running on low, gradually blend in baking powder and 2 cups of flour, scraping down the sides if needed.
• Remove bowl from mixer, and blend in chopped strawberries by hand.
• In a separate bowl, combine remaining butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon to create topping.
• Place 18 cupcake papers in cupcake tin, and spoon strawberry batter evenly into each. Sprinkle an even amount of topping on each cup.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out cleanly from the cupcakes. Remove from cupcake tin and allow to cool before serving.

BLUSHING STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (24-count) mini muffin tins with paper liners.
• In a blender combine the strawberries (reserve about 12 small strawberries for garnish, slicing each into 4) with 1/4 cup water and puree until smooth. Puree should equal about 1 3/4 cups, if not add more water. Set aside 1/4 cup of the puree for frosting.
• In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the cake mix, egg whites, vegetable oil, and 1 1/2 cups of pureed strawberries for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of bowl to make sure all the batter is well incorporated. Using a mini ice-cream scoop, fill the muffin tins about 3/4 of the way to the top. Bake until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the tins from the oven cool slightly before removing the muffins. Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
• Frosting: In a mixing bowl that fits over the top of a pot of boiling water, combine all of the ingredients, except the vanilla and food coloring. Beat with hand mixer on medium speed, while mixture cooks, until peaks are formed when the beaters are lifted out of the bowl, about 7 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and add vanilla and red food coloring to the desired pink shade. Frost the cupcakes with the colored frosting and garnish each with a strawberry slice.

LIZZIE'S STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 2 cupcake pans with cooking spray.
• With an electric mixer, beat the cake mix, gelatin, oil, strawberries and a 1/2 cup water until fully combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan, and then remove before icing.
• For the icing: In a blender or food processor, puree the butter, sugar and strawberries for the glaze until smooth; it may take a few minutes to come together. Poke holes in the cupcakes with a toothpick, then spoon the icing over, allowing some of it to seep into the cake. Store the cupcakes, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks.
