Strawberry cupcakes

Strawberry cupcakes 

Here I am again, with strawberry cupcakes this time!! Yummy cupcakes looking gorgeous with the strawberry whipped cream frosting and fresh strawberries. After finishing some of the strawberries from the farm with strawberry jam and strawberry milkshake, I wanted to finish the rest with strawberry cupcakes.. Browsed through many recipes and all of them used artificial colors, which I was not satisfied of. Finally discovered this recipe which uses the strawberry jam as it has the fruit concentrate which gives the real color to the cakes. Satisfied with it, gave a try.. It turned out great .. Enjoyed it and here I am with my post on strawberry cupcakes. 😀

I could not use the strawberries in the cake , so used them for garnishing 😉
I prepared whipped cream frosting with few teaspoons of strawberry jam to get the strawberry flavored whipped cream. Finally topped them with some real strawberries.

Ingredients for Strawberry cupcakes:

  • Butter – 3/4 cup 
  • Sugar – 1 1/4 cups
  • Vanilla extract – 1 1/2 tsp 
  • Eggs – 3
  • Wheat flour – 2 1/2 cup
  • Corn flour – 1/4 cup
  • Baking powder – 1 1/2 tsp 
  • Baking soda – 1/2 tsp 
  • Whipping cream – 1 1/4 cups 
  • Strawberry jam – 3/4 cup 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven at 180 degrees.
  2. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one by one and beat each time.
  4. Sieve together flours, baking soda and baking powder.
  5. Mix the strawberry jam and whipping cream together.
  6. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the cream and strawberry jam mixture, folding well after each addition.
  7. Pour the batter in cupcake liners upto 3/4th.
  8. Bake at 180 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean.
