I received a challenge from a friend and decided to take her up on it - a moist, delicious strawberry cupcake with decadent strawberry icing. Thank you for the sweet challenge, Kelsey!
Here's my original recipe:
Double Strawberry Cake
(Makes 6 cupcakes and a bundt cake or 18 cupcakes)
Cake -
2 1/2 C flour
1T baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 1/4 C sugar
1 C milk + 1 T white vinegar
1/2 C applesauce
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
3/4 C strawberry puree
Strawberry puree -
(makes 1 cup)
12 Strawberries
2 T superfine sugar
combine in blender or food processor until smooth
Preheat oven 350 deg. Pour vinegar into milk. Stir and set aside. In a large bowl combine dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Mix until smooth. Pour into lined cupcake tins or greased baking pan. Bake cake 35minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Place on cooling rack for 10 minutes then remove bundt or cupcakes from pan until completely cool. Top with frosting.
Frosting -
1 stick butter
2 C confectioners sugar
2-3 T strawberry puree
In a bowl beat butter until smooth. Add sugar and puree. Mix for 5 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Frosting will be very thick. Recipe may be doubled.
