Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes: Light fluffy white cupcakes are filled with juicy fresh strawberries and sweet whipped cream to create a light and bright dessert!
It’s full on strawberry season here in Florida and I am ready for everything involving one of my favorite fruits.
First up, these gorgeous Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes!
They are perfectly light, fluffy white cupcakes that are filled with juicy fresh strawberries and sweet whipped cream to create a light and bright dessert.
I doctored up a box of white cake mix for these and it makes them EXTRA easy to whip up.
Sometimes we have time to make cupcakes from scratch and sometimes you need cupcakes in 30 minutes or less. It’s all about balance.
I did make some homemade whip cream though.
Sure you could use the one in the can, or coolwhip, but real whip cream only takes a couple of minutes and it is so perfect.
Then you fold in fresh sliced strawberries and fill the cupcake with the strawberries and cream.
Top it with a little extra powdered sugar and BAM — perfect light dessert!
These are a great dessert to make for a party or travel with as well. You can bake the cupcakes and whip the whipped cream and fold in the strawberries well ahead of time.
My strawberry obsession has been going on for quite a while now.
Then whenever you are ready to serve them, just slice the tops of the cupcakes and fill them with the strawberries and cream.
If you do make these ahead, make sure you refrigerate the whipped cream.
Head on over to Dixie Crystals for the full recipe I developed of them!

HI, just curious, I’m not a huge fan of almond extract so would it make mu ch difference if I omitted that?
I made these cupcakes and they were absolutely delicious they were gone within 20 minutes
My sister’s company had a contest for cupcakes so I sent her this recipe, and she won the 1st prize so Yeah, these are so good, look great and are so easy. Thank you. I am making them for a birthday party next weekend.
Looks great, can’t wait to make these.
Very Good!! Will make this week! Tks
Hello, I was wondering why my whipped cream is not very thick and it’s not making stiff peaks. What did I do wrong. Help.
Will make tomorrow.
Have not made yet but plan to sounds great! I love strawberrys and cream. Can’t wait. Thanks
I was wondering if this could be made into a cake…made the cupcakes and they were absolutely delicious…didn’t know if I should make the cake like the box days or if I can still use your light ingredients for cake also… Delicious recipe all the same
Since you have to cut the cupcakes to add the filling, would it be easier to spray cupcake pan with floured baking PAM then using paper cups and unwrapping them all to slice and full? Making these today.
Do it whatever way is easiest for you!
Do they have to be served immediately? Can you refrigerate them?
Loved these! The fresh whipped cream is amazing
Yay! Love to hear that, Julie!
These were so amazing! Great recipe! Definitely a keeper!
So glad you enjoyed them!!

I looking for measurements for all ingredients please
Hi I’m having problems with measurements, like how much water, butter etc vanilla
Hi Rose! The full recipe is linked to at the very bottom of the post. Thanks!
I’m not able to find the recipe for the strawberry and cream cupcakes. I have the cupcakes made but it doesn’t say how to make the strawberry & cream for the middle of the cups cakes (measurements)
Hi Tracy! The full recipe is linked to at the very bottom of the post. Thanks!
I made these yesterday. They tasted great. I put them in the refrigerator over night (as I plan on taking some to friends) but they aren’t as fresh tasting the second day. Didn’t think it was a good idea to leave whipped cream out all night. Was difficult to slice tops of cupcakes, so mine didn’t look as pretty as yours. But tasted great the day I made them. Hubby has no problem eating them. Thanks for the recipe. I will continue making these until I get them perfect.
quick question. I love how your recipe looks small and appears to make 4 cupcakes…is that true? I was thinking maybe you used Jiffy white cake mix?
This recipe makes 22 cupcakes!
White cake mix ??? Even ten year old know how to make cake mix
Apparently you didn’t read the post. It was noted for speed and convenience that box mix will be used. Troll!
Hello Florida :-) We are still freezing out here and I have decided to keep this recipe for fresh ones coming here …… Thank you and have a nice week end !
If I want to prepare the night before should I put them in the refrigerator so the whipped cream does not melt?
To prepare them ahead, I would bake the cupcakes but not slice and fill them until you are ready to serve them. So bake the cupcakes ahead and keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. Whip the cream and keep it in the fridge. Then right before serving, stir the strawberries into the whip cream and slice the cupcakes and fill them.
Sorry, these cupcakes are best fresh, so making them ahead still requires some work right before serving!
years ago there was a recipe going around almost the same thing with chocolate cup cakes. you cut the tops off and fill with whip cream and you cut the tops in half and put on top of cupcakes backwards and looks like a butter fly.and sprinkle confec sugar
Good old Aussie Butterfly Cupakes!
I can just about taste these in my mouth right now! I’m ready for those summer fresh strawberries!
I can’t wait until Strawberry Season is here!! We don’t get them until June though! These look so good and I love the video!
how much of each ingredient, vanilla, almond, water, butter, and how many egg whites

Bake/Cook time :0:15 to 0:17
Yield :22 cupcakes
INGREDIENTS
1 (16.25 oz) box white cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
3 large eggs whites
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pint strawberries, sliced
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup, plus additional for dusting Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups into muffin pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix, water, egg whites, butter, almond extract and vanilla extract, until well combined.
Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin pan, filling each cup 3/4 way full.
Bake for 15-17 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
While cupcakes cool, make the cream filling. In a stand mixer with whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream, vanilla extract and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Fold the sliced strawberries into whipped cream. Slice the tops off each cupcake and fill with whipped cream mixture. Place cupcake top back on and sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
What size measuring scoop do you use for the cupcakes?
Can you use coolwhip also
