Almost every Sunday, my family and I go over to my mom’s house for dinner. And pretty much every single one of those Sundays, my mom makes some delicious variety of cupcake–peach cupcakes, Oreo cupcakes, S’more cupcakes–good stuff, people, good stuff. What I’m trying to tell you folks is that I have a decent amount of cupcake eating experience. And, guys, in my expert opinion, these little strawberry cheesecake cupcakes might actually be the VERY BEST.
I actually made these back in February for Valentine’s Day, but they are a perfect summer BBQ treat too. Get the recipe here at Dollhouse Bake Shoppe.
Here are my tips:
- Feel free to substitute your favorite cream cheese frosting.
- Don’t be tempted to replace the cake batter with some other white cake recipe. Seriously, this cake is SO good.
- I used store bought strawberry jam rather than making my own filling. It’s okay. Give yourself a break. It’s still going to be delicious. Trust.
- It’s no big deal if you don’t have a bismark tip for filling the cupcakes. I cut a little cone out of each cupcake, and it actually created an adorable heart-shaped strawberry filling in the middle of each cupcake (Really! Check out the picture below).
- Prepare yourself for compliments. I may be overselling these, but really. So. Good.
