STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES WITH WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING
Fresh strawberries are full of water, so they have a tendency to weigh down cake batters and make soggy cakes. That's why these strawberry cupcakes rely on strawberry jam or preserves. The concentrated flavor is just right for light and tender cupcakes. -Lisa Kaminski, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

FRESH STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES WITH WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F and line muffin pans with liners. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Whisk together until well combined. With a wooden spoon, stir in beaten eggs, yogurt, milk, and vanilla until fully incorporated.
- Carefully combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients with a rubber spatula. Fold with spatula just until no lumps remain, but do not overmix. Gently fold in the minced strawberries and its juices until combined.
- Divide batter evenly into lined muffin pan. Bake about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not over-bake. Let cool in muffin tin, on top of wire rack. Cool completely before frosting.
- While cupcakes cool, make the frosting: In a blender or small processor, blend freeze dried strawberries until finely ground into a powder. Set aside.
- Place mixing bowl and beaters in freezer for a couple minutes to get them very cold.
- In a small bowl, combine gelatin with 2 TB water and allow gelatin to dissolve and soak up the water, about 1 minute. Microwave for 20 seconds to melt gelatin mixture. Set aside.
- In cold mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and the strawberry powder. Beat until it reaches soft peaks. Check that melted gelatin is no longer hot, but a warm liquid (if it has firmed up, microwave 10 seconds and stir until just warm.) Continue to beat whipped cream to stiff peaks, while gradually pouring liquid gelatin directly into the beaters. This will stabilize your whipped cream so that it does not become runny and keeps its shape well!
- Keep chilled until ready to frost. Frosted cupcakes will keep well at moderate room temperature for several hours, or cover and keep chilled if room temp is too warm.

Steps:
- To prepare the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 (24-cup) mini muffin pans with mini cupcake liners. Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium-size bowl. Set aside. Whip the eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the wire whip attachment, on medium speed, until they're light, creamy and pale yellow. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the vanilla and oil, mixing until combined. Slowly add the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk in 3 batches, and mix until just combined and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Pour the cupcake batter into the lined muffin pans, filling each cup 3/4 full. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 16 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely. To prepare the frosting, whip the heavy cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a wire whip attachment, until medium-size peaks form. Place the whipped cream into a small bowl and refrigerate. Place the cream cheese into your mixing bowl and mix with the paddle attachment until creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and strawberry jam and mix until evenly combined and no lumps exist. Fold in the fresh chopped strawberries so that they're evenly distributed. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to overwork the cream. Place the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a plain tip, and pipe the frosting on top of each cupcake. If desired, garnish each cupcake with a quartered strawberry.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries. This will ensure the best flavor in your cupcakes.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the cupcakes dry.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
