Time 1h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup water
2 large eggs
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
3 tablespoons strawberry preserves
1 (16 ounce) container cream cheese frosting
6 large strawberries, sliced

Steps:

  • Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) if using dark or nonstick pans.
  • Mix cake mix, sour cream, oil, water, and eggs with a spoon in a large bowl until well blended; batter will be thick. Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
  • Cut cream cheese into 24 pieces. Stir preserves in a bowl until smooth.
  • Place one piece of cream cheese on top of each cupcake and press slightly into the batter. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon preserves over the cream cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 23 minutes; some preserves may show in the tops of the cupcakes. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack and let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Spread frosting over the cooled cupcakes. Garnish with strawberry slices.
