This recipe was inspired by, the soon to be upon us, Valentine's Day! Tired of the regular chocolate covered strawberries or box of chocolates, then why not go for handmade chocolate frosted strawberry cupcakes with an added twist! These cupcakes have no taste of apple just strawberry goodness!
Cupcakes 2 1/2 cups of cake flour 4oz of apple sauce 1 tbs baking powder 2 sticks of melted butter 1 1/2 cups of sugar 1 egg 1 cup of milk 2 splashes of vanilla 1 pound of chopped or diced strawberries Red or pink food coloring (optional) Directions: Step 1: mix flour, baking powder, apple sauce, and butter Step 2: add sugar, then the egg, milk, and vanilla Step 3: mix in desired amount of food coloring Step 4: add strawberries Step 5: bake at 375 degrees (f) for 10-15 minutes (time will vary) Chocolate Frosting Mix powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk a little at a time until desired texture and thickness are achieved. (More milk will create a glaze, less milk creates frosting.) |
