Strawberry Shortcake - it's a BIG deal


The first time that I made these Strawberry Shortcake cupcakes I called Fran and was telling her how fantastic the final product was. Fran thought I was going crazy over nothing, but today we remade the recipe and now she knows why I was making them a big deal.

Basically, same recipe as already before except this time we put some strawberry puree in the batter as well. We loved the look of the cake with the strawberry puree...a light brownish color. It compliments the pink strawberry frosting.

This time we also added a strawberry garnish fanned out in 3 pieces with a peppermint leaf.

Everything about this recipe was perfect...moist, fluffy, not too sweet, geniune strawberry flavor, and great presentation.

  4. @Anonymous...sorry for the very late response. We used 1/2 cup of puree. It really all depends on your batter. Try it out and if it doesn't work, add more if it's too dry, or reduce if it's too wet. Thanks for bookmarking us!
