Strawberry White Chocolate Cupcakes

Delicious! I tweaked the recipe a bit and had fantastic results. As per another reviewers suggestion, I used only 6 tbs butter and added 1/2 c whole milk (still used 3 eggs!). I baked the cupcakes for the full 25 minutes and they were perfect! Not at all muffiny. Only a couple made it until the next day, and they were still great. We used buttercream frosting and that was a bit heavy for the cupcake, so maybe next time I'll try something new. Can't wait to make these again!

These are really good. More like a muffin than a cupcake though. I didn't have strawberry extract so I used raspberry and you couldn't tell I'd switched. I did double the strawberries and it needed the half cup. Even doing that, my husband still said it needed more strawberries. I expected these to be pink. They were not. Just plain white cake color with pieces of berry in them. These were tender and moist and not dense but not really as cake like as I expected. Really good though. I will definitely make this again. So easy.

Strawberry White Chocolate Cupcakes

Ingredients

Vanilla Cake:

1 box white cake mix

1/3 cup oil

3/4 cup buttermilk

3/4 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon vanilla

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 teaspoons strawberry flavored gelatin (jello powder)

3 small strawberries, diced (no stems)

4-6 cups powdered sugar

White Chocolate Ganache:

Place chocolate chips is a heat proof bowl and set aside. On the stove top, heat heavy cream just until bubbles form around the edges (don't let it boil) and pour it over the chocolate chips and whisk until smooth. (Depending on your brand of chocolate chips, you may need to add a couple more if it's too thin.)

Buttercream:

Beat butter for 2 minutes. Add vanilla extract, gelatin and strawberries. Slowly add powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.

To assemble, dip the tops of the cooled cupcakes in the ganache. Let it set for a few minutes, then pipe your buttercream and top with sprinkles and fresh strawberry slices.
