Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 150 g Unsalted Butter/Stork
  • 150 g Caster Sugar
  • 3 Medium Eggs
  • 150 g Self Raising Flour
  • 150 g Strawberry Jam


Vanilla Buttercream

  • 150 g Unsalted Butter (room temp)
  • 350 g Icing Sugar
  • 2-4 tbsp Double Cream
  • 1/2T tsp Vanilla Extract


Decorations

  • 12 Strawberries
  • Freeze Dried Strawberries


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170C/160CFan and Line a 12 Hole Muffin Tray with Large Cupcake Cases/Muffin Cases, or a flat tray with the Iced Jems baking cups. 
  2. Cream together the Butter and Caster Sugar with an electric beater till smooth – add in the Beaten Eggs and Flour and beat again for about about 20-30 seconds on a Medium Speed – it really doesn’t take too long, you don’t want to overheat it!.
  3. Add in the strawberry jam and briefly beat again so the mixture is smooth and the jam is spread throughout! 
  4. Spoon into your Cases evenly and Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through! Leave to cool on a wire rack.
  5. Once the cakes are cool, make the frosting – beat the softened Butter until smooth – this can take a couple of minutes. 
  6. Add in the Icing Sugar 1/3 at a time, making sure the sugar is fully incorporated until moving on! I use my KitchenAid for Frostings as the machine can make it so much lighter and fluffier!
  7.  Once all of the Sugar is in the Frosting mix, keep on beating the Frosting but add the Vanilla, and then the Cream 1 tbsp at a time till you reach your desired consistency! I usually use about 3 spoonfuls!
  8. Decorate your cupcakes how you like, I used a Large Closed Star tip to pipe on my buttercream, and then sprinkled on my freeze dried strawberries, and then added my fresh strawberry on top! – and ENJOY!
