Ingredients
1
box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ white cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and egg whites called for on cake mix box
2/3
cup seedless strawberry or raspberry jam
6
to 8 medium strawberries (about 6 oz), hulled
2
containers Betty Crocker™ Whipped fluffy white frosting
12
strawberries, sliced, for garnish if desired
Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
By slowly spinning end of round handle of wooden spoon back and forth, make deep, 1/2-inch-wide indentation in center of top of each cupcake, not quite to bottom (wiggle end of spoon in cupcake to make opening large enough).
Spoon jam into resealable heavy-duty food-storage plastic bag. Cut about 1/4 inch off corner of bag. Gently push cut corner of bag into center of cupcake. Squeeze about 1 tablespoon jam into center of each cupcake for filling.
Place 6 oz strawberries in blender. Cover; pulse 20 seconds to puree strawberries. Measure 1/2 cup of the strawberry puree into medium bowl. Stir in both containers frosting until well mixed. Generously frost cupcakes. Garnish with sliced strawberries. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
