Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
Even though we are slowly entering the season of blueberry and peach treats, it is not time to say goodbye to strawberries just yet. Maybe you have already tried many good recipes which you could have found on different food blogs, but if you are not bored of strawberries yet, here is a quick and a tasty dessert – Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes.
If you are a fan of Strawberry Shortcake, maybe the most popular recipe with strawberries, there is absolutely no chance that you won’t like the mini version of this treat in the shape of cupcakes. Anyway, by the time you see the ingredients, you will see that everything is there, just like the famous cake recipe! The base is the now famous Very Vanilla Cupcake from the Sally Baking Addiction blog, frosting is heavy whipping cream with small bits of strawberry and instead of the cut pieces of strawberry, which can be found in bundles in the original Strawberry Shortcake, I put whole juicy strawberry in the cupcake.
And in the blink of an eye, you will have a delightful dessert on your table, which, carefully cooled, will be the real refreshment for the summer days, but also the ideal quick dessert if you are expecting guests. All in all I see no reason why these yummy Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes won’t find a place on your table. Enjoy!!!

Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes are a quick, easy and cute version of Strawberry Shortcake Cake. They taste just as good as the cake version but can be held in your hand!
Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- 1 and 2/3 cups (210 g) all-purpose flour (if you don’t have kitchen scale fill the cup with spoon when measure and DO NOT overdo it with flour!!!)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter- melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 medium strawberries- hulled
For the frosting:
- 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3–4 tablespoon powdered sugar (or more to taste)
- 1/2 cup strawberries chopped into really small pieces (or it will stuck into the piping tip)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, line standard cupcake pan with 12 liners and set aside.
- In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small sauce pan over low heat and set aside to cool.
- Transfer melted butter to a large bowl and whisk in sugar (it will be grainy), then whisk in egg whites, milk, yogurt and vanilla. Whisk by hand or use electric mixer on a low speed.
- Slowly add dry ingredients into egg mixture and mix on low speed until combined (the batter should be thick). Divide the batter into 12 cupcake liner (it will be about 3/4 full) and bake 20 minutes (until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean). Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- With a sharp knife hollow out the center of the cupcake and insert the strawberry inside.
- To make the frosting in a large bowl beat heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and vanilla and continue mixing on high speed until stiff peaks form. Stir in strawberries chopped into really fine pieces.Pipe the frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
- Store in the fridge. Garnish with strawberries before serving.

Is that supposed to be 1 2/3 cup of flour? It looks like you posted 12/3 (4 cups)….
Hi Nikki, it’s 1 2/3 cups
How could I turn this into a cake? Thanks!
Hi Michelle, I have made this recipe as a cake several times. I double the recipe and divide it to two and bake it in 9 inch round cake shapes on 350F for about 20-22 minutes.
Hello,
I’m hoping someone tells me what I did wrong with these strawberry cupcakes because I’m not a novice to the baking world. I tried making these last night and bombed big time. They came out rubbery, greasy, and undone inside.
The only thing I can think of is that I used sour cream instead of the Greek yogurt. Also, I used a whisk instead of beaters, which I “never” do but the recipe said that that would be okay. I also tested them in 15 minutes with cake tester stick (because my oven has a tendency to bake at a higher temp) and the stick returned clean so I thought they were done. Nevertheless I still allowed them to cool in the oven a bit more. They had cracks on the top too which to me indicated that they were done. Also, when I looked at them baking through the oven window they seemed to rise higher, but when I took them out they kinda shrunk. After they cooled and I tasted/tested one, I was bummed to see what I described above, and I even put them back in the oven but had no luck. Today, I am making another recipe similar to this one and I will see if the same thing happens:(
Oh and BTW, I also thought that melting the butter might have been the culprit too and made them more greasy?

Just a thought if it is warm or you may want to hold these jewels for a little bit, you may want to stabilize the whipped cream with a bit of bloomed gelatin. I’ve been quite successful using 2 teasp to a tablespoon of water, microwaved then cooled to room temp. Drizzle in the side of the bowl while mixer is on a little slower and then turn up when its all in. I usually add when the cream is at soft peaks. Not sure about the timing.
