Strawberry Cream Cupcakes
It´s strawberry season and what´s better than baking with fresh local produce.. I love the feeling of going to the market, choosing my fruits (or vegetables) and coming home to bake (or cook) something with it.. It´s therapeutic in a way..
To be honest I´m not crazy about strawberries & cream and hardly ever order it as a dessert, unless the strawberries are topped with loads of sugar/icing sugar or I can add chocolate sauce.. otherwise it´s too bland for me.. (I like my desserts to be sweet!!)
To make sure these cupcakes sufficiently tasted like strawberries, I made strawberry compot on the stove top by adding 1 tablespoon of water, 2 tablespoons sifted icing sugar & 1 cup of chopped strawberries on medium to low heat and cooked the strawberries until soft. When cooled I filled my strawberry cupcakes with it.. for the rest of the recipe, please scroll down to the end 🙂
I remember eating strawberries & cream when I went with a friend (more than 10 years ago) to a Wimbledon tennis tournament.. I wasn´t very keen to order it (like I said it´s not my favourite dessert) but she reminded me that it was tradition to eat it while at Wimbledon 😉 I was presently surprised when I ate it that day, it was not sour at all but instead a perfect balance of sweet and creamy.. I think I managed to create that same taste of years ago in a cupcake & that makes me very happy.. 🙂
This recipe is perfect for those cold days but just as perfect for those hot summer days.. now thats what I call versatile.. “a flexible cupcake”.. so go ahead and make it (and eat it) cause this cupcake is super fit.. lol!
Hope you all have a fantastic week! We have snow here in the mountains today, well not in the village where we live but about 10-15 minutes drive from here and we decided to take the kids there after school today 🙂
Hope you guys liked this recipe!

Johlene, qué buena pinta, a mi las fresas me encantan, pero no las como con nata para no engordar, ja, ja. Me ha encantado la receta y las fotos son muy bonitas. Que tengas un feliz miércoles. Un besico.
Love that you pumped these so full of strawberries! They are MAJOR.
I had no idea strawberries & cream was a Wimbledon thing! And to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever had plain strawberries and cream at all! But I love the flavor combination in a cupcake, and these are so cute and sweet!
Deliciosos! Sí señora! Y se ven tan jugosos que dan ganas de pegarle un bocado a uno!
Besos

We always have strawberries and cream when Wimbledon is on! But we grew up with my mother slicing strawberries and sprinkling sugar on top! So we always have sweet berries 🙂 These cupcakes look gorgeous, Hope you have a great week XO
Qué ricos, y qué color tan precioso. Las fresas son exquisitas!!
El corte se ve muy esponjoso,
Un abrazo y feliz semana
I love strawberry season as well! It is such a lovely fruit, and I’m sure it makes these cupcakes wonderful :”) Can’t wait to try!

Oh my gosh Johlene!!! Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits and seeing that cupcake cut open made my mouth water! YUM!!!
At least these cupcakes count for 1 of our daily fruit intake 😉 Xx
