Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 26

LEMON CAKE
2 1/2 c cake flour, sifted
1 c white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 c unsalted butter, softened
2 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
1/4 c lemon juice, fresh
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 c milk
WHITE CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE FILLING
2 c cream cheese, softened
1/2 c confectioner's sugar
2 1/2 Tbsp strawberry syrup
10 oz white chocolate, melted in a double boiler
STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
1 c unsalted butter, softened
3 1/2 c confectioner's sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp strawberry syrup
red food coloring drops to adjust color of frosting
GARNISH
1/4 c sliced strawberries
3 Tbsp white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350'F
  • 2. For Lemon Cake: In a mixing bowl sift together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder. Whisk them together and set aside.
  • 3. Cream butter with an electric mixer. Add sugar to butter gradually, continue beating until sugar is completely beaten with butter into a paste. Beat the butter paste until it is super fluffy and light.
  • 4. Add whole eggs and egg yolks to the sugar butter paste one at a time completely incorporating each egg.
  • 5. Add vanilla extract and lemon zest to butter mixture. Completely incorporate.
  • 6. Add lemon juice to butter mixture and beat slowly until completely incorporated. Side note: The mixture will look curdled after you add the lemon juice. This is normal, it'll smooth out when you get to the dry ingredients.
  • 7. Add your dry ingredients in three additions. Add your milk in two additions in between adding your dry ingredients.
  • 8. Beat down sides of bowl and beat on high for 20 seconds.
  • 9. Pour batter out into lined cupcake pans. Bake for 21 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • 10. For White Chocolate Strawberry Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together
  • 11. Add melted white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and blend completely. Side note: Be sure the white chocolate is cooled, but not hardening. If the chocolate is scalding it will cook the cream cheese! The white chocolate should be slightly warm to the touch.
  • 12. Once chocolate is completely blended into cream cheese mixture, add strawberry syrup. Blend loosely, this will give the mixture a ribbon of syrup and keep it from turning pink entirely.
  • 13. For Strawberry Butter Cream Frosting: Blend all that goodness together. Add the food coloring as needed to adjust the color to the pink your prefer.
  • 14. Assembly: Once cup cake are cooled core the cupcakes and scoop cheese cake filling into each cake. They will take about a half of a tablespoon each.
  • 15. Frost with butter cream frosting. Garnish as desired and chill before serving.

Time 1h20m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 (0.13 ounce) package unsweetened strawberry-flavored drink mix
¼ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter
2 ½ cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract, or to taste
1 ¾ cups milk
¼ cup heavy cream
2 cups heavy cream
2 (0.13 ounce) packages unsweetened strawberry-flavored drink mix
36 ounces white chocolate, chopped

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If fresh strawberries aren't available, you can use frozen or freeze-dried strawberries, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Make sure the white chocolate is melted smoothly before adding it to the batter. If the chocolate is not melted properly, it will seize up and become grainy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough cupcakes.
  • Fill the cupcake liners no more than 2/3 full. If the liners are filled too full, the cupcakes will overflow when they bake.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cupcakes are not done baking.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. If the cupcakes are still warm when they are frosted, the frosting will melt and slide off.
  • Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. This will give the cupcakes a professional look.

Conclusion:

These white chocolate strawberry lemonade cupcakes are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The cupcakes are moist and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy flavor. The frosting is creamy and smooth, with a hint of lemon. These cupcakes are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
