Cupcakes are great in my opinion. They are relatively small, handy and most of the time delicious. If you add strawberries to the cupcake game it gets even better. These (simple) Very Strawberry Cupcakes are packed with strawberries – they have a strawberry filling, the buttercream has strawberries in it and they are also decorated with strawberries. If you like these little red fellas, these cupcakes might be perfect for you! Strawberry Overload in the best way possible.

I’m a big fan of cupcakes for quite some time already. So easy to prepare and extremely delicious (when done right). A small cake with buttercream on top is always nice, right? The perfect dessert or sweet snack in between – easy to transport and easy to make in many different versions actually. One simple recipe for the cakes and the buttercream plus some additional ingredients to adapt the cupcakes to your liking and suddenly the options for your sweet dessert are endless.

For these cupcakes here I used one of my thoroughly tested and easy-to-make cupcake recipes as a base. Fluffy result guaranteed. The buttercream is a simple American buttercream, also very easy to do. I normally prefer Swiss Meringue or German buttercream because they are not as sweet, but if you need your sweet fix quickly the American buttercream is your best option.

The small cakes, the strawberry filling with the vanilla liqueur, and the buttercream on top – a great combination. If you are baking for/with children you might want to replace the vanilla liquor with some plain (non-alcoholic) vanilla extract. The result is equally delicious but less boozy.

If you want to take it to the extreme with the strawberries you can also add some small diced strawberries to the batter. That would make them triple Strawberry Cupcakes. I’m not a big fan of baked strawberries tbh – that’s why they normally do not end up in my batter. But that is just a preference.

Here are a few more »basic« cupcake recipes. I think you can never have enough of them…

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.

2. In a large bowl mix the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until well combined. Add the egg whites one after another and mix until well combined. Next, add the vanilla extract and stir it in. Mix the flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt and add it alternating with the buttermilk in 2-3 batches to the bowl – mix each time until just combined. »Sir Mix-a-Lot«, I know . Divide the batter between the paper liners and bake for about 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down completely on a wire rack.

3. For the buttercream clean some strawberries and then puree them – you need about 1 cup (240ml) of strawberry puree. Add to a small saucepan and slowly heat up while stirring constantly. Let simmer over medium heat until the puree has thickened and you are left with 3-4 tablespoons of a thicker strawberry puree. This takes about 10-15 minutes. Let it cool down completely.

4. Dice the strawberries for the filling, add them to a bowl together with sugar and vanilla liquor and let them marinate for several minutes.

5. As soon as the strawberry puree has cooled down you can continue with the buttercream. Add the butter to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add about half of the confectioners’ sugar and mix until well combined. Next, add the strawberry puree and vanilla extract and mix in. Add more confectioners’ sugar and mix on high to get a nice and fluffy strawberry buttercream.

6. Core the cupcakes with a knife or cupcake corer*. Place diced strawberries (including any liquids from the marinating process) in those holes. Fill the buttercream into a piping bag with a star tip and decorate the cupcakes with it. Make sure you cover the diced strawberries completely. To finish the cupcakes, you can place a small strawberry on top of each cupcake (optional).

1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Muffinblech mit Papierförmchen bestücken und zur Seite stellen.

2. Butter und Zucker in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Das Ei dazugeben und gut verrühren. Die Eiweiße einzeln zugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren. Vanille Extrakt zugeben und unterrühren. Mehl, Backpulver, Natron und Salz vermischen und abwechselnd mit der Buttermilch in 2-3 Portionen dazugeben und jeweils nur kurz verrühren. Den Teig auf die Papierförmchen aufteilen und dann für etwa 20-24 Minuten backen. Mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt, und die Küchlein erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Ofen holen und auf einem Kuchengitter abkühlen lassen.

3. Für die Buttercreme einige Erdbeeren säubern und dann pürieren – es werden etwa 240ml (1 Cup) Erdbeerpüree benötigt. In einen kleinen Topf geben und bei mittlerer Hitzezufuhr unter ständigem Rühren langsam einkochen – am Ende sollten etwa 3-4 EL dickflüssiges Püree übrig bleiben. Dauert etwa 10-15 Minuten. Komplett abkühlen lassen.

4. Die Erdbeeren für die Füllung würfeln und in einer Schüssel mit Zucker und Vanillelikör vermischen – einige Minuten ziehen lassen.

5. Wenn das Erdbeerpüree abgekühlt ist, mit der Buttercreme weitermachen und dafür die Butter in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Etwa die Hälfte des Puderzuckers dazugeben und gut unterrühren, dann das Erdbeerpüree und den Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und unterrühren. Nach und nach noch mehr Puderzucker dazugeben und auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis eine helle und luftige Buttercreme entstanden ist.

6. In jeden Cupcake eine kleine Vertiefung schneiden (mit einem Messer oder Cupcake Corer*) und gewürfelte Erdbeeren einfüllen (inkl. Flüssigkeit, die sich beim Marinieren angesammelt hat). Die Buttercreme in einen Spritzbeutel mit Sterntülle einfüllen und dann die Cupcakes damit dekorieren – die Erdbeeren sollten komplett bedeckt sein. Zum Schluss jeden Cupcake mit einer kleinen Erdbeere dekorieren (optional).
