Strawberry Cupcakes

In the time of spring and summer we love the colour red and the strawberries. This is the time where you can make so many sweet things with strawberries. From a simple garnish to a strawberry torte and much more. I show you first simple Strawberry Cupcakes or Cake.

You need:

- 250 g. butter
- 200 g. sugar
- 4 eggs 
- 250 g. flour
- 200 g. strawberry pulp / 200 g. mashed strawberries
- 230 g. almond powder
- 1 teaspoon of cornflour


Ingrediants for the icing

- 100 g. caster sugar
- 30 g. mashed strawberries
- 40 g. mashed strawberries


Beat the eggs with the sugar in a mixer until quite swell . Melt the butter in a bain marie . Pour the butter into the egg mixture and stir. Add half the flour and pureed strawberries . Mix the remaining flour with the cornflour and put it in the mix . Finally add the powder and almond . Grease and flour a form of cake and pour the mixture . Bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees for 45 minutes.

Then you can make a glaze. for the Cupcakes i made a royal icing in different colors. But because of the strawberry cake I made, I prepare alos a strawberry glaze. So prepare the glaze . Mix the icing with strawberry polp and glaze the cake warm.

Except of the glaze you can decorate the Cupcakes or the Cake. You can use sprinkles or chocolate eggs. You can stab the strawberries on a toothpick and decorate the cake so that the strawberries are upstanding.
In the same time you can prepare small roses,  flowers or strawberries with fondant.
