Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ½ cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)

How to Make Strawberry Cream Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  8. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the strawberry cream: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  9. Once the cupcakes are cooled, pipe or spread the whipped cream on top of each cupcake.
  10. Top with sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for added texture.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; stop mixing as soon as you see no dry flour.
  • For a more intense strawberry flavor, you can add a bit of strawberry puree to the whipped cream.
  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for better volume.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute blueberries or raspberries for the strawberries for a different berry flavor.
  • Add a splash of lemon zest to the cupcake batter for a refreshing twist.
  • Use flavored whipped cream, such as vanilla or almond, to complement the strawberries.

What to Serve With It

  • A glass of cold milk or strawberry milkshake.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
  • Fresh fruit salad for a light, refreshing contrast.

Storage and Reheating

Store the cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the cupcakes (without the topping) for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving and add the whipped cream and strawberries just before enjoying.
