Recipe overview
The full instructions are below, but here is snapshot of what makes up this recipe:
- Vanilla cupcakes: These are moist and flavorful cupcakes with a tight crumb. These cupcakes are slightly dense, which allows them to stand up to the juicy strawberry filling and topping. They are flavored with vanilla and a touch of almond extract.
- Strawberry filling & topping: The juicy and sweet fresh strawberry topping and filling is made with finely diced fresh strawberries mixed with strawberry jam. The jam adds extra sweetness, a deeper strawberry flavor, and a gorgeous glossiness.
- Whipped cream frosting: One of the best frostings ever. Velvety smooth whipped cream flavored with vanilla and thickened with cream cheese. A beautiful and delicious frosting that is pipeable and will hold its shape.
