I hope you all enjoy this wonderful cupcake recipe and come visit me over at Mrs. Mama.
Now for the wonderful and tasty cupcakes!
For the Cupcake:
1 cup (2 sticks) sweet butter, softened
1 cup superfine sugar
2 cups self-rising flour
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
For the Topping:
1 cup heavy cream
4 tbsp. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups sliced strawberries
4 tbsp. strawberry jello-o
1 tbsp. water
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350. Place 18 paper baking cups in muffin pans. Combine all the cupcake ingredients in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and pale, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Spoon the batter into the cups. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove pans from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Then remove the cupcakes and cool on a rack. For the topping, whisk the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl until soft peaks form. Spoon onto the cupcakes and arrange the strawberries on top. In a small saucepan heat the jell-o and water until melted. Brush the mixture on top of the strawberries. Chill until ready to serve.

My days are spent working as an elementary librarian and in my free time I blog. Mrs. Mama is about my life as I work to become the best wife and mother I can be.
Ashley, those look and sound so good! Was awesome to see you on Foodie Friday!
