I am in the process now of making some special strawberry cupcakes for the festivities! The recipe for these delicious cupcakes comes from Candace Nelson of Sprinkles Cupcakes:
Strawberry Cupcakes
Ingredients:
Makes 1 dozen
- 2/3 cup whole fresh or frozen strawberries, thawed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
These are perfect to use if you don't have a muffin pan! |
Directions:
Use an ice cream scooper to make sure that all of the cupcakes have the same amount of batter |
Mmmmm these look yummy!! |
Strawberry Icing:
Makes enough for 1 dozen cupcakes
- 1/2 cup whole frozen strawberries, thawed
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, firm and slightly cold
- Pinch of coarse salt
- 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
- Place strawberries in the bowl of a small food processor; process until pureed. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and salt on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce mixer speed and slowly add confectioners' sugar; beat until well combined. Add vanilla and 3 tablespoons strawberry puree (save any remaining strawberry puree for another use); mix until just blended. Do not overmix or frosting will incorporate too much air. Frosting consistency should be dense and creamy, like ice cream.
Mmmmm, don't these look amazing?!?! Can't wait to share them with everyone at the party!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!! Hope you all have a spooktacular night!! :)
