These three ingredient strawberry cupcakes are really good! My guys were hovering waiting to eat them. I had to shoo them away so that I could take pictures for you. Then two minutes later they’d be back. And, yes, they do taste as good as they look.
This is a 100% a cheater recipe. But, if you make these strawberry cupcakes look pretty, no one needs to know! I know some of you are going to cringe when I show you the three things I used. And yes, there are many healthy alternatives out there. But, this is a treat. And a quick treat when you need something really fast that the kids will love!
Ingredients:
Strawberry cake mix
12 oz strawberry soda (a can has 12 oz in it)
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, looks sooooo good.)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
Mix the soda into the cake mix. Make sure it’s well mixed but don’t go crazy mixing it. If there are a few small lumps, that’s ok.
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 3/4 full. If you did 2/3 full, you could probably make 24.
Bake for 18 minutes, testing with a toothpick to see if done. Let them cool before frosting.
If you have piping tips, you can make your cupcakes look fancy. I use the 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 prefect valentine 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!
