Boxed yellow cake with a creamy whipped strawberry frosting to make the most delicious strawberry shortcake in cupcake form!
For the cake:
- 1 box Yellow Cake Mix
- Oil, Water, and Eggs, as needed for the cake mix
- 1 1/2 cups strawberries, roughly chopped
For the frosting:
- 2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to temperature on package directions. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Gently fold strawberries into batter with a rubber spatula.
Pour batter into cupcake tins. Bake in preheated oven for about 19 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Let sit in tins for a few minutes, then remove to cooling rack.
To make the frosting, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla and beat for 5-8 minutes using your KitchenAid or a handheld mixer. Frosting is done when stiff peaks have formed.
Frost the cupcakes and top with a small or sliced strawberry. Enjoy!
