Strawberries and cream cheese provide the wow in these simply delicious cake mix cupcakes.
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons strawberry preserves
- 1 (16 ounce) container cream cheese frosting
- 6 large strawberries, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) if using dark or nonstick pans.
Step 2
Mix cake mix, sour cream, oil, water, and eggs with a spoon in a large bowl until well blended; batter will be thick. Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
Step 3
Cut cream cheese into 24 pieces. Stir preserves in a bowl until smooth.
Step 4
Place one piece of cream cheese on top of each cupcake and press slightly into the batter. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon preserves over the cream cheese.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 23 minutes; some preserves may show in the tops of the cupcakes. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack and let cool, about 30 minutes.
Step 6
Spread frosting over the cooled cupcakes. Garnish with strawberry slices.
Cook’s Note:
To make ahead, store frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator. Garnish with strawberries just before serving.
