STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly between each addition, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with sour cream and beating until just incorporated.
• Divide batter evenly among the tins using a 1/4 cup measure or ice cream scoop. Tap pans and smooth tops with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk the jam in a small bowl until smooth. Fold in chopped strawberries. Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out a hole in the center of each cupcake. Fill with 1 to 2 teaspoons strawberry filling. Top with whipped cream and a slice of strawberry. Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 cupcakes pans with 24 cupcake papers. In a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar on high for 2-3 minutes or until light colored and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Alternately add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients with the milk in three parts, stirring just until combined and scraping down the sides as necessary.
• Spoon the batter into the lined cupcakes pan, dividing between all 24. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the buttercream, beat the softened butter in a stand mixer for 2-3 minutes until light in color and fluffy. Beat in the powdered sugar, vanilla and enough of the heavy cream or milk to make a spreadable consistency. Beat the frosting on high for 3-4 minutes or until very fluffy.
• Make the strawberry filling by sprinkling the granulated sugar over the finely diced strawberries. Let sit for 15 minutes until the strawberries release their juices.
• To assemble the cupcakes, spread a small amount of frosting on the top of each cooled cupcake, like a mini crumb coat. This will keep the strawberry juices from soaking into the cupcake. Then pipe a circle of buttercream around the outside of each cupcake. Fill the center with a tablespoon or two of the strawberry filling. It is best if the cupcakes are filled with strawberries just a few hours or right before eating them.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• 1. Bake cupcakes as directed per cake mix. Adjust your water, oil and egg whites accordingly. I use Duncan Hines.
• 2. While cupcakes are baking. Dice 2 cups of strawberries in 1/8- 1/4 inch in size. Add sugar to taste. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
• 3. When cupcakes are cool, take a spoon or melon ballers work great and scoop out the center of the cupcake. Do not go too deep. You are creating a pocket for your filling.
• 4. Drain excess syrup from strawberry filling and fill cupcake pockets.
• 5. Whip together whipping cream, powdered sugar, pudding mix and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Do not over whip.
• 6. Pipe on frosting or apply with spatula. We prefer a lot of frosting on our cupcakes.
• 7. Garnish with fresh strawberries and raw sugar ;if desired.
• 8. These cupcakes need to be refrigerated and do not store longer than a few days...if they last that long.
• 9. Enjoy!

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CUPCAKE

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with cupcake liners.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder and salt, and set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy using an electric hand mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until just incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixing speed to low. Add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Beat until combined.
• Divide the batter evenly among the lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
• For the filling: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup water and the gelatin, then set aside. Cut up the whole strawberries into small pieces, and set aside in a small bowl. Using a food processor, puree the strawberries and pour into a medium saucepan. Add the sugar and lemon juice to the sauce pan. Cook over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble, stirring constantly. Let the mixture boil for 2 minutes. Pour the hot mixture into the bowl with the water and unflavored gelatin. Stir together until incorporated. Add in the cut strawberries. Put in the refrigerator until the mixture has thickened, 2 hours.
• For the frosting: Beat the butter and cream cheese until light and creamy. Add in the vanilla. Add in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add milk as needed if the frosting is too thick. Place the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
• Once the cupcakes have cooled, pull out the centers with a cupcake corer. Fill with strawberry compote filling. Pipe the frosting onto each cupcake. Place some strawberry compote on top for garnish.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the filling:
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, or in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer, mix the egg yolks and the sugar for 4 to 5 minutes.
• In another large bowl, sift together the flour and the cornstarch.
• Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture slowly, mixing on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth.
• In a medium saucepan, warm the milk on medium heat, just until it starts to boil.
• Switch your mixer to the whisk attachment, then add the hot milk slowly to the mixer, and whisk continuously at medium speed while pouring the milk, to keep the mixture smooth, without lumps or curdles.
• Add the heavy cream, rum extract, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean seeds and mix thoroughly for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Then pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until it boils. Note: It must be hand-whisked constantly during this time. After it reaches boiling, whisk for 2 more minutes, until it thickens.
• Remove from heat. Let it come to room temperature before pouring in a bowl. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.
• For the cupcakes:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two cupcake pans with twelve paper baking cups each, or grease pans with butter if not using baking cups.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, and set aside.
• Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer. Add the sugar; beat on medium speed until well incorporated, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition.
• Combine the vanilla extract and milk in a large liquid measuring cup. Carefully scrape the vanilla bean seeds from the milk.
• Add one third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then gradually add one third of the milk mixture, beating slowly until well incorporated. Add another third of the flour mixture, followed by another third of the milk mixture. Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed. Add the remaining flour mixture, followed by the remaining milk mixture, and beat just until combined.
• Using a spatula, gently fold into the strawberries.
• Scoop batter into baking cups so that each is two-thirds full, and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes our clean. Transfer the pans to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the frosting:
• Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer. Beat until well incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
• To assemble:
• Once cooled, peel the wrappers off the strawberry cupcakes and slice in half length-wise. Add a tablespoon of the filling on top of the bottom half of the strawberry cupcake; add a layer of sliced strawberries; cover with the top to make a cupcake "sandwich"; then frost with a swirl and garnish with a strawberry slice.
