Creamy vanilla frosted cupcakes with strawberry surprise filling.
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and egg whites called for on cake mix box
  • 2/3 cup seedless strawberry or raspberry jam
  • 6 to 8 medium strawberries (about 6 oz), hulled
  • 2 tubs (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped Fluffy White Frosting
  • 12 strawberries, sliced, for garnish if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans) and line 24 regular-size muffin cups with paper baking cups.
  • Prepare and bake the cake mix according to the instructions on the box to make 24 cupcakes. Let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Create a 1/2-inch-wide indentation in the center of the top of each cupcake by gently rotating the end of a round wooden spoon back and forth. Be careful not to reach the bottom of the cupcake. Wiggle the end of the spoon in the cupcake to widen the opening.
  • Fill a resealable heavy-duty food-storage plastic bag with jam and cut about 1/4 inch off one corner. Insert the cut corner of the bag into the center of each cupcake and squeeze about 1 tablespoon of jam into the center of each cupcake for filling.
  • Add 6 oz of fresh, ripe strawberries to a blender. Cover and pulse for 20 seconds until the strawberries are pureed. Transfer 1/2 cup of the strawberry puree to a medium bowl. Mix in both containers of frosting until fully combined. Use the frosting generously to frost the cupcakes. Top with sliced strawberries for garnish. Keep the cupcakes stored in the refrigerator with a loose cover.
