Equipment

Ingredients

Cupcakes:

  • 1 cup (227g) butter melted
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 ¼ cups (288g) flour
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar

Frosting:

  • 4 cups (460g) powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam or preserves
  • fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F / 176C.
  • Melt butter in a mixing bowl and beat in the eggs and sugar until creamy. Mix in the baking powder, cinnamon-sugar, and flour until smooth.
  • Add batter to each cupcake liner, filling two-thirds of the way from the top.
  • Place cupcake pan in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Take pan out of oven and place on a cooling rack.
  • Make the frosting by combining powdered sugar and melted butter in a bowl. Add in the strawberry jam and vanilla and mix well.
  • Pipe frosting onto each cooled cupcake and then garnish with a fresh strawberry.

Notes

  • Don’t rush the mixing process. Cream the butter, sugar, and eggs for at least three minutes before adding the remaining ingredients.
  • Don’t overfill. When each liner is only filled two-thirds of the way, there should be enough batter to make 12-15 cupcakes.
  • For a smoother batter, bring your butter and eggs to room temperature before mixing.
