Original Recipe Yield 20 cupcakes**
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (21 ounce) can LUCKY LEAF® Premium Strawberry Pie Filling
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  •  
  • Dreamy Buttercream Icing:
  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, or more as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cake mix, oil, water and eggs until smooth. Add a little LUCKY LEAF Strawberry Pie Filling at a time, gently stirring to create swirls.
  3. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full of batter. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
  4. Dreamy Buttercream Icing*: Cream butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add vanilla and 1 tablespoon heavy cream, and beat for 1 minute, adding more cream as needed to reach desired consistency.
  5. Spread frosting onto cool cupcakes. Garnish with additional strawberries.

Footnotes
