1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ white cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and egg whites called for on cake mix box
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butter, softened
1 bag (2 lb) powdered sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place white paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
Make cake mix as directed on box for cupcakes, using water, oil and egg whites and adding almond extract and vanilla. Pour half of batter into small bowl; stir in cocoa and chocolate chips. Divide chocolate batter evenly among muffin cups. Carefully spoon white batter evenly over chocolate batter.
Bake as directed. Cool 10 minutes; remove cupcakes from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar and whipping cream with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and spreadable. Gradually stir in strawberries, a few tablespoons at a time. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Frost cupcakes. Store in refrigerator.
