We had to come up with an item to take for a Teacher Appreciation Week pitch-in luncheon at Chick-a-Bitty and Bug's school. I knew I needed to bring in something that would feed over forty teachers and wouldn't require major refrigerator space. I thought if I could make this in my Mini Muffin Pan ( it makes twenty-four muffins at a time) and with one cake mix, I could make a little over forty-eight muffins!


Make Strawberry Cupcakes in a Mini- Muffin Pan to feed the whole gang.

Ingredients:

  • 1 strawberry cake mix 

If you can't find strawberry cake mix, Pillsbury and Betty Crocker make a white one- just add about one drop of red food coloring. 


  • Add 1 tsp. of strawberry extract


IMO, Strawberry cake mix is prettier, because it makes a pink cake with red speckles, plus you're putting in the white chips = very pretty! 

You can also as fresh strawberries to the white cake mix for a similar effect.

  • 1 tsp. strawberry extract 
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 (3 oz. box) cheesecake pudding mix
  • 16 oz. sour cream
  • ½ cup oil
  • 3 eggs 
  • Garnish: whipped topping and fresh strawberries. 
  • Preheat oven to 325 Degrees
  • Spray your pan lightly 
  • Whisk eggs and pudding mix together.
  • Add remaining ingredients, blend well.

  • Using a medium or large ice cream scoop, (depends on how big you want your mini cakes) put in pan. 

How to infuse cupcakes and cakes.
Infuse cupcakes with a jam filled icing tube.

  • Bake for 10-12 min. Let cool on cooling rack and remove from pan. Repeat until all the batter is used.
  • Once cupcakes are baked, use a frosting tube filled with jam to infuse. It is easy, just insert and squirt! Now, you are a gourmet baker!
Tip:  If there is extra batter for a third round but not enough to fill all cups, fill empty cups with a bit of water so it will not ruin and over bake the empty cups.

After everything is cool, use whipped topping to decorate top of mini-cakes. Add a sliced strawberry to put on top.

You can also frost with cream cheese frosting and drizzle with chocolate syrup as seen below.
