Strawberry Cupcakes Ingredients:
Cupcake Ingredients:
- 1 (18.25-ounce) box of white cake mix
- 1 (3-ounce) box of strawberry instant gelatin
- 1 (15-ounce) package of frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed and pureed, divided
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil

Strawberry Cupcakes Directions:
For the Cupcakes:
To begin this delightful culinary adventure, reach for a trusty box cake mix, transforming it into a strawberry-infused wonder with the help of frozen strawberries and a hint of strawberry-flavored gelatin (Jello). This dynamic trio not only adds a burst of fruity goodness but also imparts a luscious pink hue to the cupcakes, making them as visually appealing as they are scrumptious.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add cupcake liners to two 12-serving cupcake pans and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cake mix and strawberry gelatin.
Add pureed strawberries (minus ¼ cup set aside), eggs, oil, and water to the dry ingredients.
Mix on low until moistened, then at medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
Scoop the batter into the liners of the prepared cupcake pans.
Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven. Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove them and place them on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
For the Frosting:
As your kitchen fills with the irresistible scent of baking cupcakes, it’s time to prepare the pièce de résistance – the Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting. Picture this: a velvety blend of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and pureed frozen strawberries. The result? A frosting so divine that each swirl atop the cupcakes is like a dollop of strawberry-kissed perfection.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese at medium speed until creamy.
Add ¼ cup of reserved pureed strawberries and mix until combined.
Slowly add powdered sugar and beat on medium speed till light and fluffy.
When cupcakes are completely cool, frost and decorate with sliced strawberries or as desired.
