Best White Strawberry Cupcakes Recipes

STRAWBERRY-CHOCOLATE MINI CUPCAKES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line the cups of four 24-cup mini cupcake pans with paper liners. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, all the cocoa powder, 1 package of strawberry drink mix, and salt in a mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, beat butter and white sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy; beat the eggs in, one at a time, adding each egg after the previous one has been completely incorporated. Beat in vanilla extract; mix in the flour-cocoa mixture in 4 additions, alternating each time with milk. Reduce mixer speed to low, and beat in the cream. Fill the cupcake cups 1/2 to 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to racks, and allow the cupcakes to cool.
• Bring 2 cups of cream almost to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; dissolve the 2 packets of strawberry drink mix into the cream. Stir in the white chocolate until the chunks melt and the mixture becomes melted, smooth, and shiny. Set aside and allow ganache to cool to warm temperature (about 95 degrees F/ 35 degrees C). Frost each cupcake with ganache.

FRESH STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 18 standard-size muffin cups with paper liners.
• Cupcakes: Mix chopped strawberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and lemon rind in medium-size saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Add in corn starch mixed with a little water. Stir and cook a minute more until mixture is thickened. Spoon into a bowl; let cool completely.
• Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
• Beat together butter and remaining 1 cup turbinado sugar in medium-size bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Beat in vanilla.
• On low speed, beat flour mixture into butter mixture, alternating with cream, and ending with flour. Swirl in cooled strawberry mixture to create a marble pattern. Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in 350 degree F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until cupcakes are golden brown and they spring back when gently touched. Let cool completely before frosting them.
• Frosting: Melt white chocolate in a bowl over a pot of boiling water. Remove from heat. Stir in cream, butter, and sugar. Beat on high until light, fluffy, and well mixed (until little lumps are gone and the frosting holds it shape). You may need to add more confectioners' sugar to get the right consistency--not too loose, not too firm. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until needed.
• Frost tops of cupcakes. Top each with glazed strawberry piece(s). Makes 18 cupcakes.

WHITE ALMOND CUPCAKES WITH STRAWBERRY...

Steps:

• 1. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/cake/beas-homemade-white-cake.html?p=2 To make the strawberry simple syrup, place 2-3 strawberries cut in half in a small saucepan. To the pan add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar. Bring to a boil till all the sugar has disolved and the syrup is now colored a beautiful red/pink. Let simmer for a couple of more minutes. Turn off heat, remove strawberries (you can incorporate these into your puree, or do what I do... POP THESE BABIES IN YOUR MOUTH :-) ), let syrup cool. As syrup is cooling, toast your almonds I usually use a small saute pan, dry heat; saute for a minute or so till almonds start to golden nicely. TURN OFF HEAT. Nuts burn faster than Snookie can whip out the mascara I tell you!!!! ;-) Set aside.
• 2. Prep your cupcake tins. Line them with liners, and set aside. Prepare your cake recipe using my variations above. The nuts should be cool now, chop them finely and add to your cake batter. Fold in the chopped almonds.
• 3. Preheat oven to 350F. Fill your cupake tins 2/3 of the way full. Tap the pans gently on a flat surface to ensure no air bubbles remain and your cupcakes rise evenly. Bake for 22-24 minutes or till cake tester comes out clean. Mine took approximately 22 minutes. Remove from oven, and place on cooling rack to cool for a few minutes. When they are cool enough to handle, remove them from the tins and place directly on cooling racks. As cupcakes are baking, prepare your filling. Start by using softened butter and cream cheese (room temperature). Using your food processor or silver bullet etc., puree your strawberries. Set aside. In your stand up mixer or mixer of choice, using your whisk attachment, add your cream cheese and your butter. Whip till nice and fluffy. Next add your confectioner's sugar, mix well. Finally add your pureed strawberries and your simple syrup. Mix for a few minutes till all the strawberries have been incorporated and the filling is a beautiful pastel pink. Set bowl in refridgerator to chill till ready to use. The cupcakes should be ready now. Using a cupcake plunger (new gadget, LOVE IT), make a nice hole in the cupcakes to prepare for the filling. Or make a hole using gadget of your choice.
• 4. Place your amazing light filling into a piping bag or ziplock bag. Fill your cupcakes and decorate with fresh strawberries or sparkly sugar OR BOTH!! Place on a pretty platter and get ready for COMPLIMENTS GALORE and definetly empty platters!!! *Note: this was the first time I used my plunger above. I didn't consider how LARGE the holes were, so I will def. double my filling recipe next time I make these, and TRUST ME, I WILL BE MAKING THESE BABIES AGAIN!!! My dh's coworkers went nuts!! They said they were OUTTA THIS WORLD STRAWBERRY/NUTTY GOOD!!!
