Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- ⅓ cup neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
- 2 tbsp strawberry jam
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: 2–3 drops red or pink food coloring for vibrant color
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 3 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 3 tbsp strawberry puree or jam (for frosting)
- 1–2 tbsp heavy cream (as needed for consistency, for frosting)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
- ¼ cup strawberry jam, warmed (for drizzle)
- Fresh strawberries, halved (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk, sour cream (or yogurt), oil, strawberry jam, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring until just combined (do not overmix). If desired, add food coloring for a vibrant pink/red hue.
- Divide batter evenly into cupcake liners, filling about ⅔ full. Bake 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Beat butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually, then mix in strawberry puree/jam, vanilla, and cream until light and fluffy.
- Pipe frosting on cooled cupcakes. Drizzle warm strawberry jam over frosting for the ‘drip’ effect.
- Top each cupcake with a fresh strawberry half.
Notes
- Ensure cupcakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
- Adjust the amount of heavy cream in the frosting for desired consistency.
- Store cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
