These three-ingredient strawberry cupcakes are really good! My kids were hovering waiting to eat them. I had to shoo them away to take pictures for you. Then, two minutes later, they'd be back. And, yes, they do taste as good as they look. And, they are easier to make than you think!
These cupcakes are such a pretty pink. Perfect for a little one who loves everything pink. Or, these are perfect Valentine's Day cupcakes. I also love these pink cake mix strawberry cookies!
These strawberry cupcakes look so pretty, no one needs to know how easy they are to make! Do you love easy cupcake and muffin recipes? Try this Easy Pumpkin Spice Muffin. Or, how about these Delicious Apple Spice Muffins.
Why I love these
- These are the prettiest three-ingredient muffins you'll get to see or taste. They are very easy to make and inexpensive too! I'll show you how to make them.
- This is a quick recipe where you stir together two ingredients, bake, cool and then frost. Yum.
- Kids will love these! I promise! How can they not when your main ingredients are cake mix and soda. This is where it's a good idea to emphasize this is a treat!
Ingredients
- Strawberry cake mix. Use your favorite brand.
- 12 oz strawberry soda (a can has 12 oz in it). Sometimes strawberry soda is hard to find in cans. I've bought it in the large bottles on occasion. If struggling to find strawberry soda, use a clear sweet soda like Sprite.
- 1 or 2 containers of strawberry icing.
(depending on how thick you spread the icing. If piping it, like I show you, it takes more. But it looks so good!)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
Step 1
Mix the soda into the cake mix. Make sure it's well combined but don't go crazy mixing it. If there are a few small lumps, that's ok.
Step 2
I lined my muffin tin with cupcake liners. I like my cupcakes big so when I make this, it makes 18. Each well was filled just under ¾ full. If you do ⅔ full, you could make 24.
Step 3
Bake for 18 minutes, testing with a toothpick to see if done. Let them cool before frosting.
Step 4
If you have piping tips, you can make your cupcakes look fancy. I use disposable bags because it's just a ton easier. If I'm making these cupcakes, then I don't have the time to try to clean the reusable bags.
These are perfect for a Valentine's Day treat.
Just display them with some cute red hearts, and you have the perfect Valentine's treat for kids : ).
Seriously, these are really good. Three-ingredient strawberry cupcakes are obviously an occasional treat. But, I guarantee if you do make them, they will disappear quickly!
Storage
These adorable cupcakes can be stored in sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to a week. In a well-sealed container, they can be frozen for up to three months.
