1
Strawberry Cake:
2
Mix all ingredients together and pour into cupcake tins lined with paper. Bake according to directions on the cake box.
3
Filling:
4
Puree strawberries in a food processor until smooth (about 15 seconds); set aside. Cream together the butter, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla. Then add the pureed strawberries. Combine until smooth. The filling should be fairly thick. Add more sugar if the mixture is too thin.
5
Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting*
6
Beat butter on medium-low speed until smooth and creamy. Add cream cheese and beat on medium-low speed until smooth and creamy (30 seconds-1 minute)
7
Sift powdered sugar over creamed mixture and beat on medium low until the sugar is all incorporated
8
Add jam and continue beating. Make sure you don't overbeat or else the frosting will become soupy. Mine was a little thinner than I wanted but I still managed some little swirls.
9
* You can always use a can of Cream Cheese Frosting and just add a tablespoon or so of strawberry jam.
10
Take cooled cupcakes and using a decorating bag filled with filling poke top of cupcake and squeeze in about a tablespoon of filling. Frost with cream cheese frosting.
