When I made these Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes I delivered them to several friends in my neighborhood and they were a hit. It’s fun to make people smile with a nice treat. I also thought these would make a great Spring or Summer dessert.
And guess what? They are really easy to make. It’s just a cake mix recipe that’s fancied up a little.
I simply made a great white cupcake base they layered strawberries and whipped cream. And done!

Super Simple & Amazing Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes

- 1/2 C water

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix the first 7 ingredients until smooth.

- Bake for about 18 minutes, give or take a minute. (In my oven it's exactly 18.)
- Allow these to cool. While they cool whip your cream. Put it in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it becomes thick.
- Add 1/3 C powdered sugar and mix it in.
- Slice half of your strawberries into thin slices.
- Once the cupcakes are cool, spoon some of your whipped cream into a Ziploc and snip off one corner.
- Pipe a small layer of whipped cream onto the top of a cupcake.
Place about 4-5 slices of strawberry on it:
- Then pipe more whipped cream on top in a spiral pattern and stick a full strawberry on top!
And eat up!

Hi, this looks divine but what is the pudding mix as I’ve never heard of it.
Amber says
Skip it if you don’t have it. It will still turn out good.

You wrote 1 quart but nothing after it – think it is whipping cream ?
Amber says
Whoops! I’ll get that fixed and yes, whipping cream.

I made these last night and they were beautiful and delicious! The cream is left off your ingredient list, but I figured it out. My cupcakes fell in the center, I’m pretty sure it’s because I over mixed my batter. Do you use your mixer or just a whisk? They were great and my dinner guests where impressed when I brought them out. Thank you!
Amber says
I use a mixer-weird that they fell!
Lillie says
Hey there! I made a slight adjustment. I took the center of the cupcake out and filled it with strawberry + strawberry glaze filling. It was the best cupcake recipe I have ever tried! Thank you for sharing!!
