Watch how to make this recipe.
Special equipment: two 12-cup cupcake pans
For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 2 cupcake pans with cooking spray.
With an electric mixer, beat the cake mix, gelatin, oil, strawberries and a 1/2 cup water until fully combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
Let cool in the pan, and then remove before icing.
For the icing: In a blender or food processor, puree the butter, sugar and strawberries for the glaze until smooth; it may take a few minutes to come together. Poke holes in the cupcakes with a toothpick, then spoon the icing over, allowing some of it to seep into the cake. Store the cupcakes, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port Wine, Moscato Dasti
Cupcakes on the menu? Try pairing with Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
