Ingredients

Cupcakes

Frosting

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temp
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam
  • Gold sugar crystals

Instructions

Make the Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and line your baking tray with cupcake liners and keep aside.
    Preheating the oven
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until well incorporated.

  • In another bowl add oil, sugar, and vanilla extract and mix well.

  • Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture in batches and beat using electric hand mixer on low until just combined.
  • Scoop out the batter using an ice cream scoop, and fill your liners till 3/4 full.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool for 5 minutes in the baking tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, using the back of a piping nozzle, make a cut at the centre to create a well and remove that part (don't throw it away).

  • Fill it with jam generously, and close it using the cut-out part.

Make the Frosting

  • In a bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the butter until it's light and creamy. Add powdered sugar (in batches) and beat until you get a smooth and fluffy consistency (5-6 min).

  • Fill a piping bag with the prepared frosting and attach a star-tip (or any other) nozzle. Pipe the swirls of frosting on top of the cupcake along the edges, keeping the center empty.
  • Add a little bit of jam in the centre again using a piping bag or small spoon. Sprinkle some gold sugar crystals on top if desired.
