Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- Beat butter and sugar until smooth in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- In a medium bowl, combine all purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla to the stand mixer. Then mix in some of the flour mixture, followed by some of the buttermilk. Repeat until both are fully combined.
- Divide batter evenly into the prepared cupcake pan, filling each cavity ⅔ of the way full.
- Bake for 18-16 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cupcakes sit in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut a cone shape out of the center of each cupcake. Fill with about a teaspoon of blueberry jamand place the cake piece back on top.
Frosting and Decorating
- Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until fully incorporated.
- Then add in the strawberry powder, salt and milk. Taste the frosting to see if it needs more sugar, strawberry powder or salt.
- Transfer the frosting to a 16 inch piping bag fitted with a 1M tip.
- Start at the outside of the cupcake and pipe in a circle, overlaying the frosting to create a higher center.
- Decorate cupcakes with fresh strawberries and blueberries or with red, white and blue sprinkles.
