Описание: Recipe to these flavour filled strawberry vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting 💛🍓🧁

Ingredients for cupcakes:
•3 eggs
•160g of sugar
•180of softened butter
•180g of flour
•3 tbsp of greek plain yogurt
•1 tsp baking powder & 1/2 tsp baking soda
•pinch of salt

-To a bowl, add the softened butter at room temp and sugar. Using a mixer, mix on medium speed until well combined. Add in the eggs & whisk together (by hand). Now add in the dry ingredients, and gently fold. Once well combined, add your yogurt & vanilla extract & fold again. Add 12 paper muffinforms to your muffintin & fill it up with the batter. Be careful not to fill all the way to the top, leave some room at the edges. Bake at 355F for 16-18 minutes.

Strawberry filling:
•1.5 cups of strawberries diced (i used fresh + frozen)
•3.5 tbsp of sugar
•2 tbsp of lemon juice + 1 tsp of cornstarch

Bring the strawberries and sugar to a boil in a saucepan on low to medium heat. Once the strawberies start to release their juice and soften, use a spatula to “mush” them together. Add in the lemon juice & cornstarch slurry. Keep the pan uncovered to allow the water to evaporate. Once the mixture thickens, it’s ready. Let it cool and transfer to a piping bag.

Cream cheese frosting:
•in a bowl, use a mixer to whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream (cold). In another bowl, beat 8oz of cream cheese (cold) for 15 seconds until creamy. Add 3/4 cup of sugar to the cream cheese & tsp of vanilla extract. Whip until fully combined.
•Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture bowl using a spatula. Then use the mixer to whip together until well combined. Transfer to piping bag & keep cold until ready to use.

To assemble, carve out a hole in the cupcake using a piping tip. Add the strawberry filling, then cover the hole again with the piece you initially carved out. Pipe the whipped cream cheese & add a strawberry and the leftover strawberry filling to the top for decor.
Enjoy ✨🫶🏼
